AMBASSADOR BARRICADED IN LONDON HOME

Supporters of the ousted Myanmar ambassador to the U.K. are sleeping at his residence with pepper spray by their beds in anticipation of regime loyalists breaking in to evict him.

Kyaw Zwar Minn, who last week was forced out of the Myanmar embassy by order of the regime, has been told to quit the house, where he's lived with his family since his appointment in 2013, by Thursday or face prosecution.

He was barricaded inside the residence in north London, where his supporters are only letting those they trust through the gates.

The standoff at the ambassador's residence comes as 100,000 people have fled the central Myanmar town of Bago after the military regime attacked anti-coup protesters at the weekend, leaving at least 100 dead.
