Myanmar’s State Administration Council (SAC) rejected the condemnation issued by G7 countries against the Feb. 1 coup, calling it “biased” and saying it “is based on fabricated information,” official press reported Wednesday.

The G7 political leaders, meeting in London, “strongly condemned” the Myanmar army power grab and the subsequent violence by security forces against civilians, calling for the “immediate release” of all detainees, including ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Myanmar Ministry of Foreign Affairs said “the aforementioned internal political events in Myanmar are based on” fabricated and biased information from unverified sources,” state newspaper The Global New Light of Myanmar reported.
