The Myanmar military launched a coup d’état on February 1, arresting elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other people under house arrest and indiscriminately killing unarmed civilians with live ammunition, triggering international criticism and demands for her release; however, the Myanmar military government today (11) accused Aung San Suu Kyi again of accepting bribes worth US$600,000 plus Gold during her term of office, which has been confirmed and is being investigated.
Aung San Suu Kyi was previously charged with violating the ban on gathering people during the election, illegal possession of wireless radios, violating the communications law and intending to incite mass unrest, and many other charges.
The Burmese military government today slapped new charges on Aung San Suu Kyi, claiming to have concrete evidence that she took bribes, that deposed President Win Myint and several cabinet chiefs were also involved in corruption, and that Win Myint had pressured the EC not to act on election fraud reported by the military. It is the strongest accusation ever made by the Burmese military since the coup.
Reuters reports that more than 60 protesters have been killed and 1,900 arrested in the crackdown since the military seized power and set off mass demonstrations. In the face of international condemnation, the Burmese military government hired an Israeli-Canadian lobbyist for $2 million (56.38 million Taiwan dollars) to tell the U.S. and other countries “the real truth about the coup” in an effort to clear its name and lift internationally imposed sanctions.
