Aung San Suu Kyi detained as Military chief Min Aung Hlaing is now in power

Breaking news is flashing from Myanmar that the Myanmar military television says the military has taken control of the country for one year. The military, known as the Tatmadaw, charged that there was massive voter fraud in the election, though it has failed to provide proof. The State Union Election Commission last week rejected its allegations.

A moderator on military-possessed Myawaddy TV declared the takeover and referred to a segment of the military-drafted Constitution that permits the military to take control in the midst of a public crisis. He said the purpose behind the takeover was partly because of the public authority's inability to follow up on the military's claims of citizen extortion in last November's political election and its inability to defer the political decision on account of the Covid emergency. 

The declaration follows long stretches of worry about the danger of a military overthrow — and military disavowals that it would organize one — and came toward the beginning of the day the country's new Parliament meeting was to start. The takeover is a sharp inversion of the incomplete yet critical advancement towards popular government Myanmar made in recent years following fifty years of military guideline and global isolation that started in 1962. It would even be a stunning tumble from power for Suu Kyi, who drove the majority rule government battle regardless of years under house capture and won a Nobel Peace Prize for her endeavors. 

The Irrawaddy, a set up online news services Myanmar, detailed that State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, the country's top leader, and the nation's president, Win Myint, were both detained in the pre-dawn hours of Monday. The news administration referred to Myo Nyunt, a representative for Suu Kyi's ruling National League for Democracy party. Its report said that the party's Central Executive Committee members, officials, and territorial Cabinet members had additionally been arrested. Telephone and web admittance to Nay-Pyi-Taw was lost and Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy gathering couldn't be reached. 

Ms. Suu Kyi was once seen as a beacon for human rights - in 1991, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while still under house capture, and hailed as "an extraordinary illustration of the power of the powerless". The 75-year-old Suu Kyi is by a wide margin, the country's most predominant legislator and turned into the country's leader in the wake of driving a decades-in length peaceful, non-violent struggle against the military rule. 

Suu Kyi's party won 396 out of 476 seats in the consolidated lower and upper places of Parliament in the November surveys, however, the military holds 25 percent of the all-out seats under the 2008 military-drafted Constitution, and a few key ecclesiastical positions are also reserved for military nominees. 

The US, Australia, and others were worried by the reports and encouraged Myanmar's military to regard the rule of law. 

"The United States is frightened by reports that the Burmese military has found a way to sabotage the country's democratic based progress, including the capture of State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and other regular citizen authorities in Burma," White House representative Jen Psaki said in an explanation from Washington. She said President Joe Biden had been informed on the detailed turns of events. 

"The United States restricts any endeavor to alter the result of ongoing decisions or block Myanmar's majority rule change, and will take action against those capable if these means are not reversed," the assertion said. 

Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne called for the release of Suu Kyi and others reported to be detained. "We firmly uphold the serene reconvening of the National Assembly, predictable with the consequences of the November 2020 General Election," she said. 

Myanmar administrators were to accumulate Monday in the capital Nay-Pyi-Taw for the primary meeting of Parliament since a year ago's a political decision.
