Myanmar has been rocked by mass protests since the military ousted civilian leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi in February 2021. YANGON: Anti-junta protesters flooded Myanmar's social media with pictures of themselves wearing black on Sunday in a show of solidarity for the Rohingya, a minority group that is among the most persecuted in the country.

"Justice must served for each of you and each of us in Myanmar," said prominent rights activist Thinzar Shunlei Yi on Twitter. In 2017, a bloody military campaign in Myanmar's west sent about 740,000 Rohingya fleeing across the border into Bangladesh carrying accounts of rape, mass killings and arson.The military has long claimed the crackdown was justified to root out insurgents, and Aung San Suu Kyi also defended the army's conduct by travelling to the Hague to rebut charges of genocide at the UN's top court.
