Huge rallies in Myanmar as backlash grows over protester killings

Al Jazeera, 21 Feb 2021
A day after the worst violence yet since Myanmar's military coup earlier this month, thousands of protesters have returned to the streets.

Soldiers fired tear gas and live rounds - killing two people and injuring dozens more on Saturday.

A funeral has also been held in the capital, Naypyidaw, for the first protester who was killed in police violence earlier in the week.
