Suu Kyi were detained, along
with ministers
and their deputies and members of
Parliament.”(Wikipedia)
“Ms Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders
of the National League for Democracy (NLD) were arrested in a series of raids.
It is not clear where they are being held.”(BBC)
There have been reactions regarding the coup d’etat;
some countries condemn it and some group of people protest against it and do
civil disobedience.

rule has been successful again in Myanmar leaving pro-democracy leaders like Aung
