04:27 EDT, 24 May 2021 Detained Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday voiced defiance in her first public comments since being held in a coup, vowing her ousted political party would 'exist as long as the people exist.' Myanmar has been in uproar since the February 1 putsch, with near-daily protests and a nationwide civil disobedience movement. More than 800 people have been killed by the military, according to a local monitoring group. In her first in-person court appearance, Suu Kyi told her lawyer her National League for Democracy would 'exist as long as the people exist,' even as the junta threatens to dissolve the party - which swept elections in 2020 - over alleged voter fraud.
