Protests in Myanmar continue on smaller scale after Sunday crackdown Protests against the Feb. 1 military coup in Myanmar continued Tuesday, but on a smaller scale than those in previous days following the crackdown Sunday by security forces that killed at least 18 demonstrators and wounded over 30 others around the country. Defying the military suppression, people still turned out in some areas on Tuesday, including the country's largest city Yangon, calling for the release of the ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the National League for Democracy. The party won the November general election but the results have been disputed by the military, who called them fraudulent.
