The lawyer for Myanmar’s detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and ousted President Win Myint said the two politicians were being kept at their homes but he was unable to meet them because they are still under investigation after a coup this week.
They were detained on Monday when the army seized power. Police have filed charges against Suu Kyi of importing six walkie-talkie radios illegally while Win Myint is accused of breaking coronavirus restrictions.
“We expect justice from the judge, but it is not certain. We hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Of course, we want unconditional release as they have not broken the law,” veteran lawyer Khin Maung Zaw told reporters in the capital, Naypyidaw.
Khin Maung Zaw said he had been appointed by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD), which won a landslide in a Nov. 8 election in which the army alleged fraud – an accusation dismissed by the election commission.
