UN Special Envoy on Myanmar: "Unity around the world is very important to not accept this coup"
Authorities in Myanmar filed a second charge against the country's ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her lawyer said on Tuesday. Suu Kyi was taken into custody on February 1 whenMyanmar's military staged a coup against her civilian government. Suu Kyi now faces a charge of violating a section of Myanmar's Natural Disaster Law, Khin Maung Zaw told local media. Although further details on the charge were not immediately available, the violation has been used to prosecute those who have violated coronavirus restrictions. The charge may allow her to be detained indefinitely without a trial, due to changes to the country's Penal Code that the junta implemented last week. The rule change allows for suspects to be detained without court permission in certain cases, according to the Associated Press.
Protesters across Myanmar took to the streets again on Tuesday. The UN's special envoy on Myanmar, Christine Schraner Burgener, told DW the junta "didn't expect so many people to go out onto the streets." Some 3,000 demonstrators, mainly students, carried posters of Suu Kyi during a protest in Mandalay. The protests in Myanmar's second-largest city saw a lower security presence than on Monday, when authorities violently broke up the demonstrations. In the economic hub of Yangon, police cordoned off the street in front of the Central Bank, where protesters have been gathering in recent days. The United States, United Nations and dozens of other countries have urged the junta to return the country's democratically-elected government to power. "Unity around the world is very important to not accept this coup," said Christine Schraner Burgener.
