The National League for Democracy (NLD) Central Working Committee has stated that it will work to free all political detainees including Aung San Suu Kyi.

The decision was made during the second interim meeting of the Second Central Committee of the National Democratic League at 9:00 am on 29 July via Zoom.

As was discussed in the meeting, Aung San Suu Kyi, the State Counselor and NLD Chairperson, is one of the most important people who cannot be left out of solving Myanmar's political problems that arose due to the violent coup d'état by a group of military leaders who violated the existing constitution.

The NLD Central Working Committee announced that it strongly believes that all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi, have been unjustly arrested, and it will make every possible effort to free them as soon as possible.

Additionally, it was stated that seven resolutions had been approved without opposition, including the establishment of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, which would strengthen and build mutual trust and cooperation with the ethnic groups in the establishment of a future federal democratic state.

The central working committee meeting was presided over by NLD chairman Mahn Johnny, and a total of 92 people including 44 members of the central committee, 10 reserve members, 20 regional and state executives, and 18 members of the central affairs committees attended.
