A senior member of Myanmar’s deposed ruling party has become the latest prominent politician arrested as the country’s new military government confronts continuing resistance to its seizure of power.

In this image from a video taken on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021, Win Htein flashes the three fingers protest gesture as a symbol of defiance in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. The 79-year old Win Htein, a senior member from the party of Myanmar’s deposed national leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has become the latest prominent politician to be arrested as the country’s new military government seeks to deal with continuing resistance to its Monday seizure of power.

He was arrested at his home in Yangon and and taken to the capital Naypyitaw, Kyi Toe, a spokesman for Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party, said Friday on his Facebook page. Thousands of people in the capital Naypyitaw joined a rally in support of the military coup on Thursday, the latest of a number of events that aim to project an image of popular acceptance of the power grab.

I wish nothing but the best for the ppl of Myanmar. But I’m sure so many people around the world would like to say this to the woman we all once admired; the NP Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi: “First they came for the Rohingya...” Hope things work out peacefully there🙏🏿
