People in Myanmar protesting against this month’s military coup have faced arrests, curfews and some internet blackouts for several days now.
But despite those challenges, they have been going out in huge numbers to make their voices heard.
Tens of thousands on Saturday rallied to demand a return to civilian rule and the release of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is under house arrest.
Airline staff, health workers and school teachers are among groups who have joined the marches.
There have been a number of detentions of military government critics during overnight raids. Meanwhile, police have increased their crackdown on large gatherings, which they say violate COVID-19 restrictions.
