Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets on Wednesday (17) in Myanmar to protest again against the military coup, rejecting the army’s claim that the population supported the overthrow of the civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi.
Most of the protests, among the largest since the protests began on February 6, have been peaceful. Still, security forces fired shots in the town of Mandalay, 270 km from the capital, Naypyidaw, where tens of thousands of people took to the streets.
Soldiers clashed with strikers in the railway sector, according to residents’ reports. There are videos of soldiers throwing stones and using catapults. A local volunteer was hit in the leg, apparently by a rubber bullet.
