Family members of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi filed a complaint before a UN watchdog against her detention that her arrest was illegal
“Her arrest was illegal, her detention is devoid of any legal basis, and her different trials violate the basic rules governing any legal procedure,” reads the complaint, seen by AFP.
In the last week of May, two human rights lawyers filed a complaint on behalf of her relatives with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
The complaint described Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s arrest as “judicial kidnapping”.
Since the military coup in February 2021, the 76-year-old State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been in military custody for more than a year.
Currently, she has been charged in more than 10 cases, including corruption cases, by the military junta, without justice.
