유엔 안보리 "수치 석방하라"...바이든도 군사 권력 이양 요구

Five days have passed since the coup in Myanmar... when the military seized control and detained Aung San Suu Kyi.
World leaders are demanding her immediate release including U.S. President Joe Biden.
The UN Security Council also says it's deeply concerned.
Choi Jeong-yoon reports.
As tensions keep rising in Southeast Asia, the UN Security Council has called for the immediate release of all those detained under Myanmar's military takeover.
The council also pledged to continue supporting Myanmar’s democratic transition.
"They stressed the need to uphold democratic institutions and processes, refrain from violence, and fully respect human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law."
The 15-member body also condemned restrictions put on civil society and the media.
This comes as Myanmar's military blocked access to Facebook across the country, which had been used by citizens to co-ordinate opposition to the coup.
However, the council stopped short of directly condemning the military takeover.
The initial text drafted by the UK condemned it, but the language was softened with no direct reference to a coup.
It was revised to win support from veto-holding Security Council members, China and Russia, who have traditionally shielded Myanmar from any significant council action.
Addressing Myanmar's military coup as one of two new crises during his first weeks in the White House, U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday demanded the military step down and free the detainees.
"The Burmese military should relinquish power they have seized; release the advocates, and activists, and officials they have detained; lift the restrictions on telecommunications and refrain from violence."
President Biden is also considering an executive order and restrictions that can make the military's power grab more difficult to maintain.
Biden said he's in touch with the Senate about a bipartisan response to urge Myanmar's military to end the coup as well as working with international partners to address the arrest of the country's de facto civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
