AFP: “Myanmar’s military has detained the country’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an apparent coup, her ruling party’s spokesman said Monday. The military, which ruled the country for nearly five decades, had this week refused to rule out seizing power over its claims of voter fraud in November’s elections, won by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party. Myo Nyunt, the spokesman for the NLD, said Suu Kyi, along with President Win Myint, had been “detained” in the capital Naypyidaw. ‘We heard they were taken by the military,’ he told AFP, adding that he was extremely worried about the pair. ‘With the situation we see happening now, we have to assume that the military is staging a coup.’ He added that the circumstances of the country’s newly elected MPs – who were expected to sit Monday for the opening of parliament – were unclear.”
