How the Myanmar Military Coup is Being Resisted by the People | Aung San Suu Kyi Detained

  • 3 years ago
On Wednesday, February 10th, police officials in Myanmar cracked down on crowds of demonstrators who were protesting against the recent military takeover.

Reportedly, one of the protesters was grievously injured as police officials deployed tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets to dispel the crowd.

Earlier, on February 5th, Myanmar's military declared a national emergency and detained the civilian leadership of the country, which included Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and President U Win Myint.

The Wire explains how the military staged the coup and the detainment that Aung San Suu Kyi faces once again.
