According to media reports, the senior members of the National League for Democracy, including leader Aung San Suu Kyi, are being detained by the military due to a dispute rising from elections held in November 2020, the results of which have been challenged by the military-aligned opposition party. The move was the begining stage of a coup d'etat by the military, who later in the day announced the full seizure of political power for a year, and the installation of Senior General Min Aung Hlaing as head of state.

The Yangon Youth Network activist group, one of Myanmar’s biggest, said on Tuesday it had launched a civil disobedience campaign after the army seized power and detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

It was one of the first signs of specific action to oppose the military coup.

“Yangon Youth Network… declared and urged CD (civil disobedience) as an immediate response,” a representative said on Twitter, noting that doctors at a hospital in Mandalay had also begun such a campaign.
