Myanmar Coup
US concerned over Myanmar military's restrictions on peaceful assembly: State Dept
Washington/Sputnik: The United States is concerned about the Myanmar military's decision to restrict peaceful protests, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Monday.
"We stand with the people of Burma [Myanmar], support their right to assemble peacefully, including to protest peacefully in support of the democratically-elected government... we're of course very concerned about the military's recent announcement restricting public gatherings," Price said during a press briefing.
Last week, Myanmar’s military overthrew the government and declared a year-long state of emergency after accusing State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi'sKyi's party of election fraud.
Price added that the United States has been urging China in public and private channels to condemn the coup in Myanmar.
Moreover, Price said the US administration is looking at policy measures to impose if Myanmar's military does not relinquish power.
