“#Myanmar erupts in biggest demonstrations since coup<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Pilots, engineers and teachers flooded the streets of Myanmar\u2019s two largest cities Saturday, joining the largest protests since the military overthrew the pro-democratic government two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Fueling the demonstrations is the heavy-handedness of the army \u2014 detaining elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and arresting more and more citizens on what the United Nations calls \u201cdubious grounds,\u201d Reuters reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Yangon, the country\u2019s business nerve center, signs read \u201cStop kidnapp<\/a>ing at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another banner \u2014 \u201cWe are preschool teachers, Every child our future, We don\u2019t want dictatorship\u201d \u2014 highlighted the growing anger of the country\u2019s white-collar workers, who have shut down airlines, schools and local services.<\/p>\n

Across the country, on smartphones and tablets, video of a doctor\u2019s arrest and memes \u2014 \u201cOur nights aren\u2019t safe anymore\u201d and \u201cMyanmar military is kidnapping people at night\u201d \u2014 played on a loop.<\/p>\n

Arrests now stand at more than 350 since the Feb. 1 coup, UN numbers show.<\/p>\n

On Friday in Geneva, the UN Human Rights Council called for Suu Kyi\u2019s release and a stop to the arrests and any violence by the soldiers patrolling the streets. A Myanmar diplomat assured international cooperation from his country.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, the US imposed sanctions on the ruling general<\/a>s who masterminded the takeover. They maintain they seized power because of voter fraud in a November election, although Myanmar\u2019s electoral commission has dismissed the claims.<\/p>\n
