YANGON: Hundreds of teachers and students protested at a Myanmar university on Friday as the military widened a dragnet against officials ousted in a coup that has drawn global condemnation and the threat of new sanctions.
The rally took place after the arrest of Win Htein, a key aide to national leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi, who has not been seen in public since being detained along with president Win Myint on Monday.
A representative of Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy said on Friday she was being held at her residence in Naypyidaw, the country’s capital, and was “in good health”.
