A man who threatened to assassinate Aung San Suu Kyi in a Facebook post apologized to the National League for Democracy (NLD) yesterday, the Anadolu Agency reported on 8 February.
Senior NLD leader Hantha Myint told Anadolu Agency by phone that Ye Lwin Myint -- accompanied by his parents -- had visited party headquarters in Yangon to say sorry in person.
Last week, a post written under Ye LwinMyint's name had stated that if a constitutional article barring Suu Kyi from the presidency were suspended: “I’ll just need an AWM [a sniper rifle] or an AS 50 gun and a month of training.”
Monday's apology comes days after the NLD’s legal team said they had collected data and information to file a lawsuit against him, the report said.
