Boris Johnson has condemned the coup in Myanmar and demanded that all captured civilian leaders be released.
The UK prime minister condemned the "unlawful imprisonment" of Aung San Suu Kyi and said democracy "must be respected".
He joined a list of other world leaders to have spoken out following the armed forces declaring a state of emergency and detaining a number of leading politicians over claims there were "huge discrepancies" in last November's election. Ms Suu Kyi's party won 396 out of 476 seats, but the army claimed the election results were fraudulent - allegations that have been rejected by Myanmar's election commission.
Protests broke out near the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan, with demonstrators carrying signs saying "reject the military" and "we need democracy".
On Monday morning, Mr Johnson tweeted: "I condemn the coup and unlawful imprisonment of civilians, including Aung San Suu Kyi, in Myanmar. The vote of the people must be respected and civilian leaders released."
Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy said there were some "very practical things" that could be done to oppose the military's actions, including "much tighter sanctions".
