Myanmar coup: Police use water cannon as thousands came to protest

Agency- Police in Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw have used water cannon on workers conducting a nationwide strike against a military coup.

 

Thousands are taking part in a third day of street protests, calling for the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and for democracy to be restored.

 

It comes a day after Myanmar saw its largest protest in more than a decade.

 

Last week the military seized power after claiming without evidence that an earlier election was fraudulent.

 

They also declared a year-long state of emergency in Myanmar, also known as Burma, and power has been handed over to commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing.

 

Ms Suu Kyi and senior leaders of her National League for Democracy Party (NLD), including President Win Myint, have been put under house arrest.
