Military denies permission for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of General Aung San, to attend 79th Martyrs' Day ceremony

Yangon, July 17 It has been learned from military sources that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of national hero General Aung San, is not included in the list of Martyrs' family members who will attend the 79th Martyrs' Day ceremony to be held at the Martyrs' Mausoleum in Yangon. The 79th Martyrs' Day ceremony, which falls on July 19, will be held at the Martyrs' Mausoleum in Yangon. According to the plan, the eldest son of General Aung San, U Aung San Oo, and his family will attend the ceremony as representatives of General Aung San's family and lay wreaths. However, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's name is not on the current schedule, a military source explained. "We see that a representative of U Aung San Oo's family will attend in place of General Aung San's family. That's all we see. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's name is not on the current schedule," the military source said. Since the terrorist military (the Tatmadaw) launched a coup on February 1, 2021, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the people and State Counsellor, has been unjustly arrested and imprisoned by the military. This is the sixth consecutive year she has been denied permission to attend the Martyrs' Day ceremony.
