The Burmese military launched a lightning coup on Feb. 1 and on Feb. 3 raided homes and confiscated documents, computers and notebooks from the National League for Democracy (NLD) party offices across the country, which was in power before the coup.
The Burmese military has declared a one-year state of emergency after launching a coup and arresting party and political leaders such as substantive leader Ung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, saying that there were major flaws in last November’s parliamentary elections and that new elections would be held after the state of emergency ended.
The Myanmar Times reported that the Burmese military has created the State Administrative Council, chaired by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
