Demonstrators in Myanmar held protests demanding the restoration of Aung San Suu Kyi's government on Monday and called for more coordinated nationwide dissent against the military junta, as regional nations prepared for talks on the crisis.
Six people were killed over the weekend, according to activists, as police and soldiers forcefully broke up demonstrations that some protesters are calling a "spring revolution."
At least 564 people, including 47 children, have been killed by security forces during protests against the Feb. 1 coup, an activist group has said. The movement has included street marches, a civil disobedience campaign of strikes and acts of rebellion organized on social media.
