Streets in Myanmar's commercial hub Yangon are quieter than usual, with a heavy military presence in parts of the city where soldiers stand guard at checkpoints and patrol in trucks, as the nation marks the third anniversary of a 2021 coup d'etat. Opponents of the military have called for people to stay indoors in a "silent strike" against the coup. IMAGES
Around a hundred protesters march in central Yangon to mark the anniversary of the 1962 Yangon university protests during which more than a hundred people died and thousands were arrested in a violent crackdown by the military regime. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the generals ousted Suu Kyi's government in February, with pro-democracy protests met by a brutal military crackdown that has killed more than 880, according to a local monitoring group.
