President of Myanmar Vin Myin and State Counselor and the de facto leader of the country, Aung San Suu Kyi, who were ousted in a coup d’état, were charged. This is reported by The Guardian with reference to a police report.
According to the document, during the searches in the residence of Aung San Suu Kyi, portable radios were found. According to the police, the devices were brought into the country illegally and were used by the bodyguards of the Myanmar leader without special permission. The publication clarifies that the violation is punishable by imprisonment for two years.
President Vin Myin is accused of violating antiviral restrictions during the election campaign.
On February 1, a coup d’etat took place in Myanmar. The military disagreed with the outcome of the fall elections, in which the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party won a decisive victory. The military announced the dissolution of the government and detained the President of Myanmar, Vin Myin, and the head of the party, Aung San Suu Kyi, who holds the post of state adviser and foreign minister.
A state of emergency was introduced in the country for a period of one year. Upon its completion, the army promised to organize new elections, after which power will be transferred to the new government. In addition, the military promised to deal with falsifications in the last parliamentary elections. In the meantime, all power has passed into the hands of the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces, Min Aung Hlain.
