In Myanmar, the Internet was blocked during the dawn for three days in a row, and it was argued that military forces were moving to Yangon. The protesters are poised to hold a large-scale protest against further prosecution against state adviser Aung San Suu Kyi in custody, increasing tensions.
According to AFP news agency on the 17th (local time), UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews said in a statement, “There is a possibility of violence on a larger scale than we have seen since the coup on the 1st.” “We have received reports that soldiers are moving from remote areas to at least Yangon,” he said. “In the past case, the movement of troops took place prior to mass killings, disappearances, and detention.” He was concerned that “the military is at risk of committing a bigger crime against the people of Myanmar, given that the two situations occur at the same time: large-scale protest plans and military force gathering.”

As the military government additionally prosecuted Susie torture for violating measures against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), citizens are strongly opposed. From this morning, Christian clergymen, priests, and civil engineers are protesting in front of the US embassy in Yangon, and the scale is expected to increase. Reuters reported that anti-military activist Kin Sandar posted a post on Facebook stating that “millions of people gather to bring down dictators.” Chi To, a senior member of the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by advisor Suzy and acting as a spokesperson, also urged, “Let’s march on a large scale. Let’s show our strength against the coup government that has destroyed the future of Myanmar and young people.”
Myanmar’s military took power in a coup on the 1st because the government did not properly investigate, despite serious irregularities in the general election last year.
