Min Aung Hlaing, Supreme Commander of the Myanmar Army, had an interview with Hong Kong's Phoenix TV.



Commander Hlaing repeatedly insisted on the legitimacy of the coup, saying he did not expect the resistance of the people to be strong.



[Min Aung Hlaing / Supreme Commander of the Myanmar Army: I did not expect the resistance to be fierce.

However, I thought that people could become emotional.] He



repeated the existing position, saying that there is no basis for the mention that the death toll from the military's bloody suppression was over 700.



[Min Aung Hlaing / Supreme Commander of the Myanmar Army: There is no evidence to prove that more than 700 people were killed.

The actual death toll is about 300.]



The police also claimed that 47 people were killed and more than 200 injured, and that the military and police had no choice but to fight the protesters who had rioted with force.




He also said a public trial for torture Aung San Suu Kyi, who is under house arrest, will be held soon.



[Min Aung Hlaing / Supreme Commander of the Myanmar Army: There is no problem with Aung San Suu Kyi's health.

I will go to trial in a few days.]




Commander Hlaing also met with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the ASEAN special delegation who came to Myanmar to discuss solutions to the situation, but details were not disclosed.



The National Integration Headquarters, which is facing the military, demanded that the special forces listen to the opinions of both sides.



[Sasa/National Integration Headquarters Spokesperson: The Myanmar people must be included in the process of discussion for the future of the people of Myanmar.] With the



upcoming public trial of Suu

Kyi, the

situation in Myanmar is highly likely to enter a new phase.
