The streets of towns and cities across the country have seen chaotic scenes for weeks as security forces clash with protesters demanding the restoration of democracy and the release of Suu Kyi.

YANGON - Myanmar's junta on Tuesday defended its seven-week crackdown that has left more than 260 democracy protesters dead, insisting it would not tolerate "anarchy".

Among those killed was a grade-eight student in Mandalay who was shot when he went to collect water from the front of his house Monday, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners monitoring group said Tuesday. Suu Kyi, not seen in public since being detained on 1 February, is facing several criminal charges as well as allegations of accepting illegal payments of gold and cash.

And Washington - which has already blacklisted the top junta leaders - sanctioned Myanmar's police chief and an army special operations commander, saying they were responsible for using lethal force against demonstrators.
