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.

Despite the killings, protesters are coming out every day, often in small groups in small towns, to reject the return of military rule after a decade of tentative steps towards democracy. At night people gather with candles. The charge, announced on the main evening news bulletins broadcast by state media on Friday and Saturday, can carry a prison term of three years.One of those charged, blogger Thurein Hlaing Win, told Reuters he was shocked to see himself branded a criminal on television and had gone into hiding.

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 Suu Kyi from years of house arrest and allowing an election that her party swept in 2015.
