Australia calls on Myanmar military to release Australian economic adviser

Sean Turnell, a professor of economics at Macquarie University in Sydney who has been advising Suu Kyi for years, was reportedly charged a week ago under Myanmar’s official secrets law, together with Suu Kyi and some of her ministers. Calling it an “arbitrary detention”, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement that Turnell had been detained with limited consular access.
