Myanmar's military junta has revoked the passports of dozens of its leading opponents — including senior ministers in the civilian National Unity Government (NUG) and several high-profile pro-democracy activists, ABC reported.

ABC obtained seven documents sent by Myanmar's embassy to other diplomatic missions in Canberra, as well as to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The documents list the names of almost 70 Myanmar citizens.

They include several prominent Myanmar civilian politicians and anti-junta dissidents — including the NUG Foreign Affairs Minister Zin Mar Aung and leading National League for Democracy lawmaker Aung Kyi Nyunt — along with their personal details and passport numbers.
