(CNN) Myanmar s military junta has cut all wireless internet services until further notice, in what appears to be part of a concerted effort to control communications and messaging in the Southeast Asian country.
Pro-democracy demonstrators have repeatedly filled streets across the country for nearly two months in protest after the military overthrew the elected government over claims of election fraud, and installed a ruling junta.
The military has responded to the protests with a bloody crackdown. At least 543 people have been killed by junta forces, according to advocacy group the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners (AAPP).
Rights group Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Friday that the junta had also forcibly disappeared hundreds of people including politicians, election officials, journalists, activists and protesters since the February 1 coup.
