Gulf Today
|July 02, 2021
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Myanmar’s biggest city Yangon on Thursday, setting fire to an army uniform and chanting calls for democracy five months after a military coup ousted elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

YANGON:
The protest was one of the biggest in Yangon in recent weeks, although demonstrations against the army take place daily in many parts of the Southeast Asian country.
“What do we want? Democracy! Democracy!” protesters chanted as they ran through the streets with colourful smoke flares.
“For the people! For the people,” they shouted, according to video published by Reuters.
They set an army uniform ablaze before dispersing. On Wednesday, the army freed more than 2,000 prisoners, most them detained since the coup.
