The party of Myanmar’s detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi, National League for Democracy, (NLD) called on Tuesday for her immediate release. They also demanded that the military, that conducted a coup yesterday, acknowledge her victory in the recently held elections, reported Reuters.
In the past 24 hours, she and other leaders of the NLD have been allegedly abducted by the Myanmar military in a coup against the Government.
A senior official from her National League for Democracy (NLD) said on Tuesday he had learned she was in good health and was not being moved from the location where she was being held.
“There is no plan to move Daw Aung San Su Kyi and Doctor Myo Aung. It’s learned that they are in good health,” NLD official Kyi Toe said in a Facebook post which also referred to one of her allies. An earlier post said she was at her home.
The United Nations Security Council or the UNSC, calls for a strong global response to the military’s latest seizure of power in a country blighted for decades by army rule. This comes after years of international efforts to reach a consensus on the Rohingya refugee crisis, regarding which a resolution was also passed by the United Nations General Assembly or the UNGA.
The United States has also threatened to impose sanctions on Myanmar.
