the democratically elected government was because they said there was fraud during the november elections that the end of the. party won in a landslide so that is most likely why they are detaining electoral commission people as well so that has happened overnight today what's going on in the on the ground across myanmar what we've seen over the last 2 days 3 days plus we had a violent day on tuesday but very peaceful protests around the country again today on thursday in the thousands already on the streets and young gun we know mandalay that's the 2nd largest city there also coming out it's very interesting to see how many different walks of life from many different walks of life the people are joining in to these protests we have trade unions we have those celebrating the indigenous communities in myanmar and we have different ethnic communities and we even have some reports that a small number of police have broken ranks and joined some of the protesters in one
