Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.
Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi detained by military in apparent coup
National TV goes off the air, military declares state of emergency
Myanmar's powerful military detained the country's leader in an overnight raid, the ruling National League for Democracy said on Monday. Other senior leaders from the party have also been "taken" in an apparent coup.
"I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law", said spokesman Myo Nyunt, revealing that the 75-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders were now in custody.
He added that he also expected to be taken.
"With the situation we see happening now, we have to assume that the military is staging a coup", he added.
