Myanmar expelled Timor-Leste’s top diplomat by Feb. 20, 2026, after Dili filed a war crimes case against its military junta, citing atrocities including gang rape and massacres.
Myanmar has expelled Timor-Leste’s top diplomat, Elisio do Rosario de Sousa, by February 20, 2026, after Dili initiated a legal case against the military junta for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, including gang rape, massacres, and attacks on religious and medical sites.
The move, justified by Myanmar under the Vienna Convention and claims of violating ASEAN principles on sovereignty and non-interference, marks the second expulsion of a Timor-Leste envoy since 2023.
The case, filed under universal jurisdiction, stems from evidence gathered by the Chin Human Rights Organization.
The incident reflects rising diplomatic tensions amid ongoing international scrutiny of Myanmar’s military rule, which already faces genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice.
