Picture: DAWEI WATCH via REUTERSRubbish piled up on the streets of Myanmar's main city on Tuesday after activists launched a “garbage strike” to oppose military rule as the toll of pro-democracy protesters killed by the security forces since a February 1 coup rose to more than 500.

A South Dagon resident said on Tuesday security forces had been cracking down in the area overnight, raising concern of more casualties. “This garbage strike is a strike to oppose the junta,” read a poster on social media. “Everyone can join.”The campaign comes in defiance of calls issued via loudspeakers in some neighbourhoods of Yangon on Monday urging residents to dispose of garbage properly.

In a sign that the call may be gaining more traction, three groups — the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the Arakan Army and Ta’ang National Liberation Army — called in a joint statement on Tuesday for the military to stop killing protesters and resolve political issues.
