Myanmar Protests
The Myanmar Protests began in February 2021 after the military, known as the Tatmadaw, seized power in a coup, detaining elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other officials. The coup sparked widespread outrage among the population, leading to mass demonstrations across the country, with citizens demanding the restoration of democracy and the release of political prisoners.
Protesters employed various tactics, including peaceful marches, civil disobedience, and strikes, to express their dissent. The military responded with increasing violence, resulting in numerous casualties and arrests. The situation has drawn international attention, with calls for sanctions against the military and support for the pro-democracy movement.
