The man who threatened in a Facebook post last week to gun down Aung San Suu Kyi apologized to her party on Saturday – with his parents in tow.
Ye Lwin Myint turned up at National League for Democracy headquarters, according to a report in the Anadolu Agency that cited NLD senior official Hantha Myint.
“He also promised not to do so again, so we will not take any action against him,” Hantha Myint was quoted as saying, alluding to a complaint to the authorities.
The report also said that Suu Kyi’s security had been tightened.
The death threat post was written on an account in Ye Lwin Myint’s name. It said that the constitutional clause that blocks Suu Kyi from assuming the presidency is suspended, “I’ll just need an AWM [a sniper rifle] or an AS 50 gun and a month of training.”
Amending or suspending 59 (f), which bars the politician on account of her two foreign sons, is the topic of the moment.
Presidential nominations are expected on March 17.
