Resistance to the military junta in Myanmar continues despite the armed forces‘ violence against the demonstrators. In the capital Naypyidaw, doctors, teachers and railroad workers as well as hundreds of government employees followed the growing movement of civil disobedience.
The police used water cannons yesterday and fired several times in the air to disperse the protests. There were several injured. According to agency reports, a woman was hit in the head by a bullet. A doctor at the treating hospital in Naypydaw said she was unlikely to survive.
The military had put up on February 1st. On that day the parliament elected in November should have met for its first session. The military did not accept the election result, according to which the National League for Democracy (NLD) of de facto Prime Minister Aung San Suu Kyi had clearly won.
