Anti-coup demonstrators in Myanmar continue to come out en masse even as the military crackdown intensifies. Opponents of military rule in Myanmar made the Easter egg a symbol of defiance on Sunday , posting pictures of eggs with slogans after a night of candle-lit vigils across the country to remember those killed since the Feb 1 coup.
The AAPP said 2,658 people were in detention, including four women and a man who spoke to a visiting CNN news crew in interviews on the streets of the main city of Yangon last week.A spokesman for CNN said it was aware of reports of detentions following the team's visit. Authorities have also issued arrest warrants for nearly 40 celebrities known for opposing military rule, including social media influencers, singers and models, under a law against inciting dissent in the armed forces.
"If I get punished for that, my conscience is clear. My beliefs will not change. Everyone knows the truth."The military ruled the former British colony with an iron fist after seizing power in a 1962 coup until it began withdrawing from civilian politics a decade ago, releasing Aung San Suu Kyi from years of house arrest and allowing an election that her party swept in 2015.
Aung San Suu Kyi is in detention facing charges that could bring 14 years in prison. Her lawyer says the charges are trumped up.
