SUU KYI UNABLE TO MEET WITH HER LAWYER

The lawyer for Myanmar's elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and ousted President Win Myint said they were being held in their homes after they were detained on Monday when the army seized power, and that he was unable to meet them. Khin Maung Zaw said he was seeking their unconditional release.

The Nobel Peace laureate, 75, has not been seen since her arrest. Police have also now arrested one of Suu Kyi's veteran aides and dozens of people who had joined noisy demonstrations against Monday's coup.
