Do you see what is happening?

Myanmar ruling party says military has staged ‘coup’ as Aung San Suu Kyi detained

Coup in Burma: Biden Administration Warns it Will ‘Take Action Against Those Responsible’

"After weeks of simmering tension, military television confirmed on Monday morning local time that the armed forces, known as the Tatmadaw, had declared a state of emergency for one year, and that the commander-in-chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, was taking over."

"The seizure of power came as a new session of parliament was due to open following elections last November which Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) easily won."

"The military, which has been claiming mass fraud in the election, took key NLD leaders into custody in the early hours. According to The Irrawaddy, a Thailand-based news outlet run by Burmese exiles, those detained included Suu Kyi – Burma’s de facto leader, but constitutionally barred from serving as president – her ally, President U Win Myint, and several lawmakers and members of the party’s central executive committee."

Hearing that internet and lines of communications are going to be throttled again in #Myanmar at 6pm. PM that you're okay and have internet if you can.— Manny Maung (@mannymaung) February 1, 2021

I guess I'll be live tweeting a coup now. Things are still pretty quiet for now, though people are awake and scared. I've been fielding calls since 6 am from friends and relatives. The internet is in and out and my sim card no longer works.— Aye Min Thant (@the_ayeminthant) February 1, 2021

We just received mobile signal in #Naypyitaw mins ago - 11:35 am.

All signal lost since 4am. #Myanmar— Cape Diamond (@cape_diamond) February 1, 2021

Here a list of people arrested in today’s #Myanmar coup (unverified for now). Likely to be more: pic.twitter.com/xKZmxNNsnF— Manny Maung (@mannymaung) February 1, 2021

Whether or not the #Myanmar military's actions are consistent with the'08 Constitution, @hrw and @HRWBurma believes they are violating fundamental human rights by arbitrarily arresting political leaders and activists.— Manny Maung (@mannymaung) February 1, 2021
