THE WEEK IN RIGHTS | FEBRUARY 4, 2021

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.

Military authorities are holding dozens of activists and NLD officials incommunicado, raising concerns about their possible mistreatment in custody.

The military has repeatedly alleged without evidence widespread election and voter irregularities during November elections which the NLD won by a wide margin.

This outrageous assault on democracy should be a clarion call for the world to act as one to finally get the military out of politics and put the interests of Myanmar’s people first.
