Aung San Suu Kyi Detained in Early-morning Raid: Reports | Earth Indian

New Delhi: Amid fears of a coup due to rising tensions between her civilian government and the country’s powerful military, Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the governing party has been detained in an early-morning raid.

The report claimed that Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders were ‘taken’. Another of those detained was Han Thar Myint, a member of the party’s central executive committee, said an An NLD lawmaker.

“I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law,” spokesman Myo Nyunt told Reuters. Speaking to AFP news agency Myo Nyunt asserted that given the situation, “we have to assume that the military is staging a coup.”
