Dozens of people demanding the restoration of democracy have been killed in Myanmar in the aftermath of the military’s overthrow of the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
At least 38 people were killed in Myanmar on Thursday alone as the military tried to quell demonstrations by pro-democracy campaigners against last month's coup, the United Nations said.
It was the bloodiest day since generals seized power on 1 February, with more than 50 people now dead and many others wounded, according to reports.
