Myanmar's shadow government of ousted lawmakers has welcomed a call by Southeast Asian leaders for an end to 'military violence' after their crisis talks in Jakarta with junta leader Min Aung Hlaing.
Protesters against the military takeover in Myanmar carried homemade shields and moved with more caution and agility Tuesday, adapting their tactics to the escalating violence from security forces not reluctant to use lethal force to break up crowds.
Myanmar careened deeper into crisis, as police occupied hospitals and universities and reportedly arrested hundreds of people involved in protesting last month’s military seizure of power.
