UN calls on Myanmar’s military to release Aung San Suu Kyi

Al Jazeera  

Hundreds of protesters take to the streets of Yangon on Thursday as the country marks the fifth month since the coup. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged Myanmar’s military to release Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint now, a UN spokesperson said, a day after thousands of other detainees were freed five months since the coup. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the army took power on February 1 and overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government. “We reiterate our call for the immediate release of all of those who are arbitrarily detained, and that includes President Win Myint and State councilor Aung San Suu Kyi,” Eri Kaneko, associate spokesperson for Guterres, said on Thursday. It took power alleging fraud in a November election swept by Aung San Suu Kyi’s party.
