Opponents of military rule in Myanmar called for a “silent strike” on Friday, urging people to stay at home to mourn the more than 700 people killed in protests against the February 1 coup and to wear black if they have to go out.
Many ordinary people, infuriated by the return of military rule after five years of civilian government led by democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi, have been taking to the streets day after day with activists thinking up new ways to show opposition as the security forces step up their suppression.
