Myanmar’s election-winning National League for Democracy (NLD) party revealed Saturday its plans to file a lawsuit against a pro-military man who threatened online to assassinate its leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
A Facebook comment posted under the name of Ye Lwin Myint this week warned that if a constitutional article barring Suu Kyi from the presidency were suspended, “I’ll just need an AWM [a sniper rifle] or an AS 50 gun and a month of training”.
“I will surely kill her. I am serious,” the poster said.
He also revealed that he was planning to launch a Facebook group called “Those dying to assassinate Daw Suu,” using a local honorific that means “aunt”, and that he had been sleeping with a rifle since age 10.
The post included a photo of two men posing with assault rifles, one said to be Ye Lwin Myint. (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
