Myanmar Coup: Military Defends Takeover And Enacts Curfew As Protests Intensify

Protests continued on Monday in cities across Myanmar, including this one in Yangon, as people took to the streets to demand the release of de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and return to democratic rule following a military coup.

A week after Myanmar's military seized power, it imposed restrictions in major cities to quell growing protests, as the coup's leader promised a new election in his first televised address.
