This article is not considered a psychological operation. It reports on the ongoing legal case in London involving Kyaw Zwar Minn, Myanmar’s ousted ambassador to the UK, who is facing trespassing charges for remaining at the official residence after being removed from his post by the military regime following the 2021 coup. The article presents his argument that the current military leadership is illegitimate and therefore had no authority to revoke his residency, while also outlining the prosecution's position that he lost the right to occupy the property once he was dismissed as ambassador.
