Myanmar’s junta shut down the internet in the country on Saturday.
The decision came in place after thousands of people took to the streets of Yangon to protest against the coup.
Many in the crowd wore red, the colour of Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD).
Myanmar’s junta shut down the internet in the country on Saturday (February 6) as thousands of people took to the streets of Yangon to denounce this week’s coup and demand the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
In the first such demonstration since the generals seized power on Monday, activists chanted, “Military dictator, fail, fail; Democracy, win, win” and held banners reading “Against military dictatorship”. Bystanders offered them food and water.
