In the early morning hours of February 1, Myanmar’s military began detaining senior government officials, including National League for Democracy (NLD) leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and activists across the country, seizing control of the government.
The junta declared a one-year “state of emergency” and cut telecommunications and internet access.
