Party stalwart Win Htein detained at daughter’s house in Yangon as students protest against coup
A key aide of Myanmar’s ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been arrested as the military seeks to quell unrest, days after seizing power in a coup.
Win Htein, who was considered Aung San Suu Kyi’s right-hand man, was reportedly detained at midnight at his daughter’s house in Yangon. Over recent days he had criticised the coup, saying its leaders had “taken [the country] in the wrong direction”.
