Junta accuses UN envoys of bias

Reports on Myanmar by two United Nations envoys used unreliable sources, made sweeping allegations and infringed on the country's sovereignty, the ruling junta said in its latest swipe at the international community's response to its crisis.

Protests and unrest have paralysed Myanmar since the February 1 coup, with the military accused of atrocities and excessive force against civilians, though the junta blames the unrest on "terrorists" allied with a shadow government.

The junta's foreign ministry said recent reports and remarks by special envoy Christine Schraner Burgener and special rapporteur Tom Andrews were far from reality and reflected a UN bias.
