One labour activist who did not wish to be named said: “Many workers and citizens of Myanmar believe that CDM is very effective for making the junta fail. The efforts by Mandalay residents to block a railway line yesterday apparently triggered the retaliation that night. Several reports included photos of people with small wounds, with claims they were caused by rubber bullets. Some unconfirmed reports said several railway workers had been arrested.

The Biden government in America has imposed new US sanctions on Myanmar because of the coup, and the United Nations and other country’s governments have called for Ms Suu Kyi’s elected government to be restored.
