Import/export law raps slapped vs Suu Kyi

“We have reliable information that Dakhinathiri court has given a 14-day remand from Feb. 1 to Feb. 15 against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under the charge of violating the import/export law,” Kyi Toe, NLD press officer, wrote on his official Facebook page.

He also said President Win Myint, who was also detained by the military in Monday’s coup, has been charged under the National Disaster Management law.

Myanmar’s army seized power on Monday, detaining Nobel laureate Suu Kyi and cutting short a transition to democracy in a takeover that has drawn condemnation from the United States and other Western countries.
