Australia has joined in international condemnation against the Myanmar military, as countries such as the United States, South Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom criticise the Junta.

The junta has said its use of force has been justified to stop what it calls ‘rioting’, during which 114 unarmed people were killed in a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters on Saturday.

Western nation criticisms and sanctions imposed have so far failed to sway the military leaders in Myanmar, as have almost daily protests around the country since the junta took power and detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
