Myanmar coup latest: Junta rejects visit by UN envoy
Saturday, April 10
5:00 p.m. The death toll from Friday's military crackdown in Bago has risen to 82, local media Myanmar Now reports, citing a source close to Bago charities counting the casualties. Some residents say they saw bodies piled up inside the compound of a school and pagoda.
10:00 a.m. Multiple local media outlets report that at least 60 civilians were killed and many injured in a military crackdown in Bago on Friday. Not a few residents of the city fled from their homes to nearby villages as forces continued shooting into the night. Bago is said to have become the city with the highest number of casualties since the military coup.
1:20 a.m. Myanmar's military has turned down a request by U.N. special envoy Christine Schraner Burgener to visit the country. She is currently in Bangkok. "I regret that Tatmadaw answered me yesterday that they are not ready to receive me," she said on Twitter, referring to the Myanmar military. "I am ready for dialogue. Violence never leads to peaceful sustainable solutions."

11:00 p.m. A military tribunal sentenced 19 people to death for killing one military member and injuring another in Yangon, the country's largest city, state military television reports. The defendants cannot appeal the verdict after martial law was declared in areas of the city last month. According to state television, the death sentence was handed down on Thursday. The two military personnel and others were attacked with knives and sticks in Yangon's North Okkalappa district on March 27, when the country marked Armed Forces Day. Of the 19 people sentenced to death, 17 are still at large.
10:58 p.m. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations calls for "concrete action" against the junta, noting that "statements alone are not enough to stop the military from threatening the security of the region." "These steps include sanctions against the military, its holding companies, and anyone who seeks to profit off the violence," Linda Thomas-Greenfield says at a U.N. Security Council Arria-Formula Meeting on Burma. "They include maintaining an arms embargo on Burma. And they include ensuring that members of the military who engage in atrocities and other abuses against their own people will be held to account."
10:58 p.m. The United Nations director at Human Rights Watch urges Russia and China permanent members of the Security Council to do more to condemn the junta at the Arria-Formula Meeting on Burma. "Myanmar security forces have killed more than 600 protesters since the coup," says Louis Charbonneau. "When it comes to a vote on a resolution, China and Russia should consider whether their global standing will benefit by siding with a military accused of genocide and committing new atrocities every day."
8:50 p.m. Celebrity acting couple, Pyay Ti Oo and Eaindra Kyaw Zin, are arrested at their home on a charge of supporting the civil disobedience movement against the junta, State Media MRTV announces. The arrest comes after the junta last week began publishing a most-wanted list of celebrities who had declared their support for protesters on social media.
7:30 p.m. At least 40 people are reportedly killed in the latest round of the military's crackdown to stop ongoing protests, although a accurate death toll is uncertain because the bodies cannot be collected due to incessant shooting, accordingly to local media reports. Meanwhile in Bago, thousands of residents flee their homes to escape the violence.
5:45 p.m. Elections will be held in within two years to return the country back to democracy, Junta spokesperson Zaw Min Tun says.
