Police guard Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi after death threat
Police in Myanmar have assigned personnel to protect Ms Aung San Suu Kyi for the first time, after the National League for Democracy (NLD) leader received a death threat on Facebook.
A police chief told BBC Burmese that a special unit had been assigned to protect Ms Suu Kyi after the threat was issued over a possible constitutional change enabling her to become President in the wake of the NLD sweeping to power in the country in a landmark election last November.
The man who made the death threat against Ms Suu Kyi in a Facebook post, Mr Ye Lwin Myint, has since apologised. But the threat is being taken seriously, the police chief told the BBC: "I told the local police office straightaway to take care of her security when I saw the post. We cannot afford anything to happen to a person of her stature." (Courtesy of The Straits Times)
