The ex-ambassador for Myanmar in the UK was locked out of the Myanmar embassy in London on Wednesday night. Staff at the embassy were asked to leave and threatened, while the ex-ambassador, Kyaw Zwar Minn, had to sleep in his car. As many others around the word have, Minn criticised the military coup, calling for Aung San Suu Kyi to be released.

Through a spokesman out the front of the embassy on Thursday morning, Kyaw Zwar Minn urged the UK government not to recognise the military junta's newly appointed ambassador, and to send them back to Myanmar. "There was a coup in Myanmar in February. Now there is the same situation in central London," he said, adding embassy staff were being threatened with "severe punishment if they don't continue to work for the military general". Police were reportedly called to stop staff re-entering the building. Protesters gathered outside after news spread that the ambassador had been locked out. According to the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations, an ambassador's job officially ends once the host country has been informed. The Foreign Office confirmed it received the notification, and that it "must accept the decision taken by the Myanmar regime".
