CHA-AM, Thailand — Prominent activists from military- ruled Myanmar and Cambodia were barred Saturday from a meeting with Southeast Asian leaders, upstaging the opening of a summit billed as a historic step toward greater human rights in the region.
The two activists were barred from a meeting on human rights in the region, after the leaders of Myanmar and Cambodia threatened to walk out if they attended. The activists had been selected by a regional human-rights forum to act as delegates for their respective countries, along with activists from the other eight delegate nations.
