Burma’s military junta has executed four democracy activists convicted of terrorism in a move swiftly condemned by international human rights groups.

The four men were executed for committing “violent and inhuman acts of terrorism,” the junta’s Information Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. This marks the first executions carried out by Burma in decades.
