Thousands have continued to protest for the second day in Myanmar’s main city, Yangon, as an internet shutdown imposed by the military fails to stop growing anti-coup rallies.
“We don’t want military dictatorship,” the crowds chanted while protesting, as others carried pictures of detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi and wore red, the colour of her party.
Demonstrations were also reported in the cities of Mawlamine and Mandalay.
Aung San Suu Kyi has not been seen since the army overthrew her government last Monday.
Images of the protests have been posted online despite internet blackout imposed on Saturday, with the military blocking access to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stop people mobilising. Phone services have also been disrupted.
