Myanmar's junta threatens to dissolve Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party, citing alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The military leadership, which seized power in February, justifies its coup by claiming widespread irregularities in the election won overwhelmingly by the NLD.
The country remains in turmoil, with over 800 deaths, a paralyzed economy, and escalating conflicts since the military takeover.
Ousted leader Suu Kyi remains under house arrest, facing various criminal charges, and is slated for her first in-person court appearance.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.

Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
