Protesters marched through downtown Yangon Friday to demand that regional leaders stand with Myanmar people , ahead of a weekend ASEAN summit attended by junta leader Min Aung Hlaing.
The country has been in turmoil since February 1, when the military ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a lightning coup.
Using violence and lethal force to quell a nationwide uprising, security forces have killed at least 739 people in near-daily crackdowns, according to a local monitoring group.
