Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other politicians have been arrested early this morning in a coup by the army, which has transferred power to General Min Aung Hlaing and declared a state of emergency, according to military television. Suu Kyi, 75, issued a statement in which she called on the people "not to accept it and unconditionally take to the streets to protest against the military's coup". The coup comes after months of tensions between civilians and the military, who did not recognise the result of the November elections and accuse Suu Kyi of fraud.
