The Australian government continues to call for the immediate release of Professor Sean Turnell, the only foreigner detained following the Feb. 1 coup, as he is an economic adviser to detained State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
His family called for his release two weeks ago, saying his whereabouts are unknown.
