The lawyer for Myanmar’s elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and overthrown President Win Myint said the pair was under house arrest and that he was unable to meet them while hundreds of students and teachers joined the anti-coup protests.
Lawyer Khin Maung Zaw said on Friday that he was seeking the duo’s unconditional release but had been told they were still under investigation.
“We expect justice from the judge, but it is not certain. We hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Of course, we want unconditional release as they have not broken the law,” her lawyer told reporters in the capital, Naypyidaw.

The Hunger Games movies, that they adopted from anti-government protesters in neighbouring Thailand.
They chanted Long live Mother Suu - a reference to ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained, and We don t want military dictatorship.
