JAKARTA - Former Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe said the Myanmar military regime could prove that the 2020 Myanmar elections were fraudulent, which led the military to act in the February 1 coup.

Ben-Menashe said that in the rigged elections, ethnic minorities were said to have been prevented from voting. Even so, he has not yet had any evidence to support the military claim.

In addition, Ben-Menashe said, during his two visits to the Thousand Pagoga Country, anti-military coup demonstrations were not supported by most Myanmar people.

He also said that the officers who handled the anti-Myanmar military regime demonstrations were the police, not the army. In his opinion, the army was best at overseeing the return of democracy after the coup was launched.

"They (Myanmar military) want to get out of politics completely, but this is a process," he said.

It is known that the Myanmar military requested assistance from Ari Ben-Menashe, who has experience representing Zimbabwean Prime Minister Robert Mugabe to the military rulers of Sudan, to lobby Western countries, including the United States.

Ben-Menashe said he and his firm Dickens & Madson Canada had been hired by Myanmar generals to help communicate with the United States and other countries, which he said "misunderstood" them.

Separately, the Myanmar military regime has refused to take responsibility for the death of Kyal Sin, a 19-year-old woman who was shot dead during a demonstration on Wednesday, March 3.

In a statement via a government newspaper reported by The Irrawaddy, the Myanmar military carried out the excavation of the grave of Kyal Sin, popularly known as Angel, on Friday afternoon. The aim was to carry out an autopsy because the funeral was carried out without a forensic investigation.

The Myanmar military said in a statement that the lead on her skull was different from that of the riot missile used by the Myanmar police. Photographs show soldiers deployed during the crackdown.

The statement also said Kyal Sin was shot from behind, while security forces faced protesters from the front. Meanwhile, the video shows Kyal Sin turning her back on the security forces before she was shot.
