Massaprotesten in Myanmar gaan door ondanks extreem politiegeweld
De protesten tegen de militaire junta in Myanmar gaan onverminderd door ondanks massaal politiegeweld.
In de stad Mandalay zijn twee mensen vermoord, meldt persbureau Reuters, daarbij ooggetuigen aanhalend. Ook in de voormalige hoofdstad Rangoon vielen twee doden. Volgens berichten van lokale media gebruikten veiligheidstroepen in Rangoon traangas, verdovingsgranaten en rubberen kogels. Bij de protesten van afgelopen zondag zijn achttien demonstranten omgekomen. Inmiddels heeft Myanmar zes journalisten aangeklaagd wegens het berichtgeven over de demonstraties.
Het leger in Myanmar heeft begin februari een coup gepleegd tegen de zittende regeringsleider Aung San Suu Kyi, zij had de parlementsverkiezingen van november met ruime meerderheid gewonnen.

Wish the democratic forces under Aung San Suu Kyi would have raised their voices when Rohingyas were being killed. #Mar3Coup#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar pic.twitter.com/s4u57qnL4b
