Beijing's support to military rule: Myanmar witnesses protest outside Chinese consulate

Yangon: Several protesters assembled outside the Chinese consulate in Mandalay to demonstrate against Beijing's support for the military regime, media reports said.

At least 200 of protesters, including a couple dozen people of Chinese heritage, gathered in front of the consular office, reports Myanmar Now.

They demanded that China should end its support for the military regime, the news portal reported.

Meanwhile, a court hearing for Myanmar's ousted leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been pushed back to February 17, meaning that she will remain under house arrest until then, the Irrawaddy news website reported as quoted by Sputnik.

San Suu Kyi is charged with illegally importing and using communication equipment, according to the Kyodo news agency.

Her detention was due to expire on Monday.

The Myanmar democracy icon was detained along with other top officials on February 1, when the military seized power after accusing her party of rigging the November elections. Most of those detained have since been released, but San Suu Kyi, ousted President Win Myint and other party leaders were placed under house arrest.

The military claims its commitment to democracy and vows to hold new and fair elections after a year-long state of emergency ends.
