Myanmar’s State Administrative Council (SAC), the military regime’s governing body, has released two pro-military ultranationalists who were arrested under the ousted National League for Democracy (NLD) administration for sedition in late January, just before the coup.
Michael Kyaw Myint, the general secretary of the ultranationalist Yeomanry Development Party (YDP), and Daw Moe Moe Khaing, a central executive committee member of the YDP, said on Facebook that charges against them were withdrawn at the instruction of the SAC on Tuesday.
