Myanmar: Charges filed against Aung San Suu Kyi after the uprising


Myanmar police have charged ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi with illegally importing communications equipment.

According to foreign news agency Reuters, he will be detained until February 15 for questioning.

Police presented details of the charges against Aung San Suu Kyi, 75, to the court, claiming that six walkie-talkies were found during a search of her home in the capital.

He told the court that the radios were illegally imported and used without permission.

The documents "requested Aung San Suu Kyi's detention" for questioning witnesses, requesting evidence and seeking legal advice after questioning the defendant.

According to a separate document, police have charged former President One Mint with violating protocol that led to the spread of the corona virus during the election campaign last November.

Charles Santiago, a member of parliament for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said the new allegations were ridiculous.

"It is ridiculous for the people to try to legitimize their illegal seizure of power," he said in a statement.

A statement from the military said in a statement that the military had taken "detentions" in response to "electoral fraud" involving military chief Man Aung Hlaing and imposed a one-year state of emergency in the country. Has gone

The NLD won the election in November last year, which was seen as a referendum on Aung San Suu Kyi's democratic government.

The uprising came after days of escalating tensions between the civilian government and the military, which had raised fears of an uprising following the election.

Political tensions escalated last week when a military spokesman refused to rule out a coup before a new parliament convened, and military chief Man Aung Hlaing raised the possibility of the constitution being scrapped.

However, the military said in a statement on social media over the weekend that it would "make every effort to adhere to the democratic principles of free and fair elections."

Earlier, tanks were deployed in some streets and there were demonstrations in support of the army in some cities before the first session of parliament, but Myanmar's election commission has denied the army's allegations of vote rigging.
