“The UK’s ban on student visas for Myanmar students is an insult to a nation in turmoil”, writes Minn Tent Bo, Burma Campaign UK’s Advocacy and Communications Officer, for the Diplomat.
“The decision contradicts the values that the U.K. claims to represent, to say nothing of its supposed support for democracy in Myanmar. The United Kingdom should reconsider this policy before it closes the door on a generation that has already lost so much and not let the gates of its universities become the latest casualty of Myanmar’s ongoing tragedy” says Minn Tent Bo.
