Aung San Suu Kyi locked up will be an embarrassment for the military regime. If they free her she will also be an embarrassment. I predict an outbreak of COVID in the jail where she is held.

Going by history I don't think the military will be too embarrassed that she's in the clink....

Yes, but the current military seem keen to justify themselves - claiming electoral fraud, rather than just steaming in. They seem to want to be seen as the good guys. Maybe it’s a mask that will slip but we shall see.

She’s now been charged with the heinous crime of illegally importing walkie-talkies.


“ Myanmar police have charged ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi with possession of illegally imported walkie-talkies, which could result in a two-year prison sentence, as a civil disobedience campaign grew against the military’s coup.

A document from a police station in the capital, Naypyitaw, said military officers who searched Aung San Suu Kyi’s residence had found handheld radios that were imported illegally and used without permission by her bodyguards. The charges, confirmed by members of her party, appear to carry a maximum prison sentence of two years.”
