(8 Feb 2021) A protest against Myanmar's one-week-old military government swelled rapidly Monday morning as opposition to the coup grew increasingly bold.
Crowds of demonstrators headed through the commercial capital Yangon to the Sule Pagoda, a rallying point for major protests against past ruling juntas.
They chanted slogans, raised a three-finger salute and held up placards in support of detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
While riot police have been watching the protests around the country, soldiers have been absent and there have been no reports of clashes.
Monday's protest followed a series of rallies over the weekend.
The military overthrew the government after accusing Suu Kyi of failing to act on its complaints that last November's election was marred by fraud, though the election commission said it had found no evidence to support the claims.
