FAQ About Aung San Suu Kyi
What role did Aung San Suu Kyi play in the 2021 Myanmar coup?
During the 2021 Myanmar coup, Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested by the military along with other leaders from the National League for Democracy. The coup occurred after the NLD claimed victory in the 2020 elections, a result rejected by the military citing unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.
