In case you hadn’t heard

Charity workers have gathered at Myanmar’s embassy in Bangkok,
Thailand, with vehicles, emergency food supplies and medicine, waiting
for their visa requests to be approved.

Here is more.  And more here.

Aren’t the consequences of delay worse than the punishments for improper authorization?

Remember, JH, priority #1 for dictators is staying in power, so they often run pretty paranoid.

I don’t see force being used here – the more so since, by the time it could be approved, planned, and moved, it’d be way too late.

On the other hand, I do see a possible threat to the government here.
