The railway staff in the country's main city, Yangon, are part of a civil disobedience movement that has crippled government businesses which strikes on banks, factories and shops. The movement began last month after Myanmar's military ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's democratically-elected government in a coup. In Myanmar's second biggest city, Mandalay, protesters staged a sit-in protest on Wednesday, chanting, "The revolution must prevail." Security forces have cracked down with increasing force on daily, nationwide protests, leaving the Southeast Asian nation in turmoil. That's Reuters Brian Wood.

The U.N. special rapporteur on North Korea on Wednesday said he has been receiving reports that crimes against humanity might be ongoing in the country. Tomas Quintana presented a list to the Human Rights Council in Geneva that included rape, starvation, murder, extermination, enslavement and forced abortion. Quintana demanded stronger action by the United Nations, calling for the situation in North Korea to be referred to the International Criminal Court. "The time has come for the Security Council to decide on the referral of the situation of the DPR Korea to the International Criminal Court, as it has been repeatedly encouraged by this honorable Human Rights Council and the General Assembly."

联合国朝鲜问题特别报告员星期三表示，他收到报告称，朝鲜可能正在发生危害人类罪。托马斯·昆塔纳向日内瓦人权理事会提交了一份名单，其中包括强奸、饥饿、谋杀、灭绝、奴役和强迫堕胎罪。昆塔纳要求联合国采取更强有力的行动，呼吁将朝鲜局势提交国际刑事法院。“现在是安全理事会决定将朝鲜局势提交国际刑事法院的时候了，这一点得到了可敬的人权理事会和联合国大会的一再鼓励。”朝鲜抵制联合国难民署的会议，其代表似乎没有对报告作出回应。我是大卫·伯德，为您远程报道美国之音新闻。
