Aid is being sent from Thailand to people displaced by fighting in Myanmar after violence eased near the border in the past two days. But ethnic Karen fighters in Myanmar say they will only negotiate a ceasefire if Myanmar’s military leaves areas where fierce fighting has been taking place. The Karen National Union (KNU) said the area under its control in Karen state was hit last week by air raids and artillery rounds.

Rights groups say Colombia’s controversial security law violates human rights and the opposition says they will challenge it in the Constitutional Court. The law claims to guarantee citizen security with tougher penalties, but critics say it violates the Constitution, dangerously expanding self-defence laws among other provisions. It also increases penalties for damaging public infrastructure or when protesters wear a mask, potentially turning protesters into criminals. The bill was approved by Congress this week and is expected to be signed off by President Ivan Duque.
