英国驻缅甸大使馆官员被缅军胁迫离开缅甸

7月13日,英国驻缅甸大使馆负责人皮特•沃尔斯(Pete Vowles)在推特页面上发文表示,他将离开缅甸。


他在推特写道:我在缅甸的时间今天突然结束了。感到悲伤和遗憾的是被缅军政权强迫离开,但很高兴我们没有屈服于压力,让他们的残暴政变合法化。我知道优秀、有能力和坚定的团队将继续为缅甸人民挺身而出,竭尽全力。团队将继续挺身而出,为缅甸人民竭尽所能,他们只想要和平、自由和正义。

2017年7 月,皮特•沃尔斯被任命为新任英国驻缅甸大使,在没有正式将任命书交给缅军政权领导人敏昂莱的情况下被推迟。2018年8月,他再次被英国政府任命为英国驻缅甸大使馆负责人。2022年2月他离开缅甸进行海外旅行后,一直被缅军政权拒绝入境。直到6月底缅军政权才给他发了签证。他突然离开缅甸的原因仍然未知,关于皮特•沃尔斯离开一事缅军政权尚未发布任何消息。



British embassy officials in Myanmar forced to leave Myanmar by Burmese army


On July 13, Pete Vowles, the head of the British embassy in Myanmar, tweeted that he would be leaving the country.


He tweeted: "My time in Myanmar came to an abrupt end today. Sad and regretful to be forced to leave by the Tatmadaw regime, but glad we did not succumb to pressure to legitimize their brutal coup. I know the good, capable and determined team will continue to stand up for the people of Myanmar and do their best. The team will continue to stand up and do what they can for the people of Myanmar who only want peace, freedom and justice.


Peter Walls' appointment as the new British ambassador to Myanmar in July 2017 was delayed without formally handing over the appointment to Myanmar military regime leader Min Aung Hlaing. In August 2018, he was again appointed by the British government as head of the British Embassy in Myanmar. After he left Myanmar for an overseas trip in February 2022, he has been denied entry by the Myanmar military regime. The Myanmar military regime did not grant him a visa until the end of June. The reason for his sudden departure from Burma remains unknown, and the Burmese military regime has not released any news about Peter Walls' departure.
