Ko Myo Thet Oo, Youth in charge of Ayeyarwady Region NLD, and Ayeyarwady Region Hluttaw representative, said, " We were taken by people dressed in guerilla uniforms. First in one place, and later sent to the Kwin Kauk army unit. Soon after arrival we were photographed like criminals.  On the whole we were treated well. Our phones were confiscated immediately,  but were given back in the afternoon. When we checked the phones we came to know of the coup. This is unacceptable as an elected representative.  In the afternoon soldiers in mufti sent us back home.  Hluttaw speaker is still in detention in Kwun Kauk army unit. The rest of the representatives have all been released.  It is learnt that Dr Tin Min Htut is still under detention ".
