The Southeast Asian country has been in crisis since the military seized power on Feb 1. FMTNews Myanmar Coup

YANGON: Myanmar anti-coup activists launched protests today calling for the release of prisoners detained by the junta, as the military government declared a National Unity Government formed by its opponents was illegal.

“Please raise your voice and demand the release of all the people who are being unfairly detained under the junta government,” protest leader Ei Thinzar Maung said on Facebook. Meanwhile, military-backed television broadcaster MWD reported yesterday that the home affairs ministry had declared unlawful a National Unity Government formed by opponents of the junta.

“Min Aung Hlaing, who faces international sanctions for his role in military atrocities and the brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, should not be welcomed at an intergovernmental gathering to address a crisis he created,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. Myanmar’s military has shown little willingness to engage with its neighbours and no sign of wanting to talk to members of the government it ousted, accusing some of them of treason, which is punishable by death.
