Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, for the second day in a row on Sunday in defiance of the military’s overthrow of the democratically elected government and demanded the release of civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The largely peaceful protests, which happened despite a shutdown of the Internet over the weekend until late Sunday afternoon, represented the biggest display of resistance against the Myanmar military, known as the Tatmadaw, since the 2007 Saffron Revolution protests.
Those demonstrations in 2007, like every other popular uprising in Myanmar’s recent history, were brutally crushed – raising the stakes for what follows and how the military government will respond. Many in the international community, including Pope Francis on Sunday, have expressed support for the protesters.
