Myanmar security forces intensified a crackdown on anti-coup protests on Sunday, with at least four people reported killed and a further 20 injured.

The junta, which seized power a month ago, has ramped up its use of force against protesters who are demanding it step down and release Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of her elected government.

On Sunday, large numbers of police and soldiers mobilised across the South-East Asian country to disperse gathering crowds and stamp out rallies, with reports of live rounds being used in some places.
