Call for release of opposition leader
“According to information reaching us since yesterday there is uncertainty over the fate of Mrs Aung San Suu Kyi and a certain number of National League for Democracy (NLD) leaders,” foreign ministry spokesman Francois Rivasseau told a press briefing.
Myanmar’s military junta said Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel peace laureate, was taken into “protective custody” in the north of the country at the weekend, following pro-democracy protests on Friday that turned violent.
