Myanmar Army Accuses Aung San Suu Kyi of Taking Bribe: Myanmar’s military rulers have accused the deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi of illegally taking $ 6 million (about Rs 4 crore 36 lakh) and 11 kg of gold. The army ousted the elected government after taking a coup in the country on 1 February and detained other senior leaders including Aung San. Aung San’s party, the National League for Democracy, won the elections in November.
Protests have continued in this country since the coup and Aung San was the biggest allegation ever. No evidence has been presented on behalf of the army. But this charge has been confirmed by a leader of Aung San’s party. On the other hand, the UN human rights investigator has accused the military government of committing ‘crimes against humanity’.
‘Myanmar captured by murderers’
Thomas Andrew says at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva that Myanmar is currently ‘in possession of murderers, illegal regimes’ potentially committing murders and torturing people in ‘widespread’ and ‘systematic’ ways . Their claims have also been supported by Amnesty, an organization working on human rights. Amnesty has also accused Myanmar’s army of committing murders (Myanmar Military Accuses Aung San Suu Kyi of Taking Bribe). Andrew said that Myanmar’s Junta (military government) and military-owned Myanmar oil and gas company should be banned, which could reach $ 1 billion in revenue this year.

Demand for ban on companies and military leaders
Andrew has also demanded a ban on new leaders of the military government and three other companies. On Thursday too, more than seven people have been killed by the army. So far the death toll has exceeded 70. Witnesses say that many protesters have been shot directly on the head. People say that they are holding peaceful demonstrations but still the army’s action towards them is not stopping. Many countries of the world have expressed concern over the situation in Myanmar.
