Protest Against Military Takeover in Yangon, Myanmar

Earlier, protesters took to the streets of Myanmar demanding that the military hand over power to the elected government and release those who have been detained.

Demonstrators are rallying against the military coup in Myanmar’s largest city, Yangon.

Last week, hours before the newly-elected parliament was due to gather, Myanmar’s military seized power, detained government officials, and declared a year-long state of emergency after accusing State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi’s party of election fraud. San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, along with other top officials, have been put under house arrest.
