Myanmar Coup: Anger Fuelled By Arrests of Dissenters During Night

Popular protests against a military coup in Myanmar have entered their second week. Thousands have taken to the streets of Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw despite the military junta banning public gatherings of more than five people. Anger has been fuelled by dozens of online videos which appear to show arrests taking place at night. People believe that government critics involved in civil disobedience are being kidnapped under cover of darkness. The United Nations say many dissenters are facing criminal charges on ’dubious grounds’.
