The NLDâs executive committee demanded the release of all detainees âas soon as possibleâ. In a post on the Facebook page of senior party official May Win Myint, the committee also called for the military to acknowledge the election results and for the new parliament to be allowed to sit. It had been due to meet on Monday for the first time since the election. Various activist groups on Tuesday issued a flurry of messages on social media urging civil disobedience. Ms Suu Kyi (75) endured about 15 years of house arrest between 1989 and 2010 as she led a democracy movement against the military, which had seized power in a 1962 coup and stamped out all dissent until her party came to power in 2015.
