Anger and anxiety over what’s to come following Myanmar’s coup
The streets of Myanmar’s largest city, Yangon, appeared outwardly calm Tuesday morning, as residents made their way to work a day after the military detained Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically-elected leaders and seized control of the country.
But behind the business-as-usual facade, anxiety is growing among many as to what will come next.

Critics, activists, journalists, academics and artists were routinely jailed and tortured during nearly 50 years of isolationist rule.
