Myanmar's junta has suspended the issuing of permits for men to work abroad, it said, weeks after it introduced a military conscription law that led to thousands trying to leave the country. The labour ministry had "temporarily suspended" accepting applications from men who wish to work abroad, the ministry said in a statement posted by the junta's information team late Thursday. The measure was in order to "take more time to verify departure processes and according to other issues," it said, without giving details. FILE IMAGES OF PEOPLE QUEUING AT THAI EMBASSY
