Myanmar: Police fire rubber bullets at anti-coup protesters

Yangon (HRNW) Police have fired rubber bullets and detained protesters at anti-coup rallies in Yangon and other cities across Myanmar.

The country has been shaken by a wave of protests against the military, which toppled civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1.

There were similar standoffs between the police and protesters on Friday.

Police moved in on Saturday after Myanmar’s UN envoy, Kyaw Moe Tun, delivered an emotional plea urging the United Nations to use “any means necessary” to stop the coup, which has been internationally criticized.
