Suu Kyi detention extended as protests continue in Myanmar

Yangon | Myanmar’s military leaders have extended their detention of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose remand was set to expire on Monday and whose freedom is a key demand of the crowds of people continuing to protest this month’s military coup.

Ms Suu Kyi will now be remanded until Wednesday, according to Khin Maung Zaw, a lawyer asked by her party to represent her. He told reporters of the extension outside a court in the capital, Naypyitaw.
