Myanmar has now been under military rule for three months. Here is a timeline of the major events since Feb 1.
Feb 1: Myanmar’s military seizes power in a coup claiming the 2020 November general election that brought a landslide victory to the National League for Democracy (NLD) was marred by fraud. It arrests the leaders of the democratically elected government, including President U Win Myint, State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and region and state ministers.
The military announces a yearlong state of emergency and says a new election will be held and power transferred to the winner.
