Nay Pyi Taw, Feb 3 : Police in Myanmar have filed several charges against elected civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi following Monday’s military coup.
She has been remanded in custody until February 15, police documents show.
The charges include breaching import and export laws, and possession of unlawful communication devices, the BBC reported.
Her whereabouts are still unclear, but it has been reported that she is being held at her residence in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw.
Deposed President Win Myint, who is believed to be in jail, has also been charged, the documents show — in his case with violating rules banning gatherings during the Covid pandemic.
Neither the President nor Suu Kyi have been heard from since the military seized power in the early hours of February 1.
