Cleanse and honking car horns marked the first widespread protests against the military coup this week.

Some shouted evil begone!

A traditional gesture to drive out evil or bad karma.

The military has refused to accept the election victory of the government of Aung San Suu, Ky.

And her National League for Democracy party, which won by a landslide last November.

The army has imposed a state of emergency for a year after they swiftly seized power Monday, detaining Souci and others claiming election fraud.

Late Tuesday, a senior party officials said he learned that Suki was under house arrest in the capital, Naper Door and was quote in good health but would not be moved.

An earlier post said she was at her home, but Reuters was unable to confirm.
