Military takes control of Myanmar in overnight coup, leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrested




 

The military has taken control of Myanmar and arrested the country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

The coup took place early on Monday morning, local time.

The move by the military follows claims of irregularities at the last election.

There has been widespread international condemnation of the coup, which is seen as a return to the country’s brutal dictatorial regime that went on for decades before the election.
