Yangon — The general secretary of the ultranationalist Yeomanry Development Party (YDP), who had been in hiding after being charged with sedition, has been arrested.
Michael Kyaw Myint was preparing to erect an obelisk in support of the Tatmadaw (military) while condemning the Union Election Commission for alleged fraud in the Nov. 8 general election.
The four-meter-tall and 60cm-wide obelisk was inscribed with the military’s three duties: to protect the union from disintegration, to preserve national solidarity and to defend Myanmar’s sovereignty, expressing the political ideology introduced under military rule. It also included a base depicting the military-drafted 2008 Constitution.
