Boris Johnson has condemned the coup in Myanmar and demanded that all captured civilian leaders be released.
The UK prime minister condemned the "unlawful imprisonment" of Aung San Suu Kyi and said democracy "must be respected".
He joined a list of other world leaders to have spoken out following the armed forces declaring a state of emergency and detaining a number of leading politicians over claims there were "huge discrepancies" in last November's election.

Unfortunately where you have a mentality in the military that they are the true power and civilians and elections are allowed only as long as the military approves, you will get this sort of thing from time to time.
I suspect it is a generational thing ... pensionable generals who hanker for the good old days. With any luck, once they’re dead and gone things will start to settle down.
