The National League for Democracy (NLD) party of ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Friday threw its support behind a civil disobedience campaign and said it would help people who are arrested or sacked for opposing this week's coup.

In a statement on an official NLD Facebook page, the party denounced the coup and Suu Kyi's detention as "unacceptable" and said it had a duty to provide help to those penalized for opposing the military takeover.
