Crowd protests against military rule in Myanmar
Hundreds of people have rallied in Myanmar's main city, Yangon, to protest against this week's military coup. "Military dictator, fail, fail; Democracy, win, win," chanted the crowd, the largest protest seen since the military took over. They called for the release of the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and others detained by the army. The protest came despite the military's efforts to stop people mobilising by shutting down social media.
