The democratically-elected government he served was ousted in a
military coup. Yet, he still refuses to give up or go
home. Instead, Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun remains in New York,
pleading his people's plight on the world's most powerful stage at
the United Nations. We first interviewed him just over a year
ago, shortly after he gave an impassioned speech before his fellow
diplomats, denouncing the overthrow of his country's legitimate
leaders. How has he managed to keep going? What more
needs to be done by the international community to help restore
democracy and free political prisoners? He also shares how global
powers like Russia and China continue to provide critical support
to the junta. As new reports of gross human rights violations
emerge, we explore how much worse the situation can get and what
lessons can be learned on addressing authoritarian abuses from
this dark period in Myanmar's history.
