UNITED NATIONS, May 1 (AP): The UN Security Council has again demanded the restoration of democracy in Myanmar and the release of all detainees including Aung San Suu Kyi and strongly backed calls by South-East Asian nations for an immediate cessation of violence and talks as a first step toward a solution following the Feb. 1 military coup.
The council’s press statement followed a briefing by the top UN envoy that the strong, united demand for democracy by the people of Myanmar who have been protesting since the coup has created "unexpected difficulties” for military leaders in consolidating power and risks bringing the administration of the nation to a standstill.
