TIMELINE-The month since Myanmar's military coup

Here is a timeline of events since Myanmar's military took power in a coup on Monday, Feb. 1.

Feb 1: Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other senior figures from the National League for Democracy (NLD) are detained in an early morning raid. The military declares a state of emergency for a year, and says it carried out the detentions in response to alleged election fraud, handing power to army chief Min Aung Hlaing.

The junta removes 24 ministers and deputies, naming 11 replacements. Feb 3: Staff at 70 hospitals and medical departments across Myanmar stop work to protest against the coup. Others wear red ribbons as part of a civil disobedience campaign.

The NLD's offices around the country are raided, with documents, computers and laptops taken. Myanmar police file charges against Suu Kyi. A police document says military officers who searched Suu Kyi's residence found six hand-held radios that were imported illegally and used without permission.

Charges are also filed against President Win Myint over violating protocols to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Feb 4: A group of protesters wave banners and chant anti-coup slogans in Mandalay in the first such street protest against the army takeover. At least three are arrested.

Tens of thousands of people take to the streets to protest against the coup in Yangon and other cities. Feb 7: Protests sweep Myanmar, in the biggest show of mass anger since the 2007 protests that helped lead to democratic reforms.

Internet access is restored, but social media platforms remain blocked. Feb 9: Police fire guns mostly into the air, and use water cannons and rubber bullets to try to clear protesters in the capital Naypyitaw. One woman shot in the head with a live bullet is not expected to survive, a doctor said.

Feb 12: Hundreds of thousands join nationwide pro-democracy demonstrations, with three people wounded by rubber bullets in clashes with police. Feb 13: The junta suspends laws constraining security forces from detaining suspects or searching private property without court approval and orders the arrest of well-known backers of mass protests.
