BANGKOK (AP) — A pageant contestant from Myanmar has used her moment in the spotlight to appeal for urgent international help for her country as security forces suppressing protests against last month’s coup killed more than 100 people. Yangon University student Han Lay made the comments Saturday night at the Miss Grand International pageant held in the Thai capital Bangkok. She spoke as news came that at least 114 people had been killed in the bloodiest day since Myanmar’s Feb. 1 coup. It was surprising to see a contestant at an international pageant use the event to in part criticize her own country’s leaders, even though Han Lay had made no secret of her sympathies before the event’s final.
