4:03 pm
and the crowds are fully aware of the dangers they face down or. the public are only protesting peacefully and now the military has come to crackdown they're just here to give us trouble we want peace we have nothing but still they come to crack down on us. we want to protect our people because the police aren't doing that they're attacking us instead as you know the jointer is doing illegal actions so the citizens need to protect themselves the campaign of civil disobedience has been widely observed against the military coup on febrile the 1st in many areas people block the roads with obstacles and cars the progress of the police hindered as they tried to clear a path in some places the protesters tried to take a stand throwing projectiles a mullet of cocktails at the police. but it seems a futile effort as they attempt to stop a military government prepared to use lethal force against its own people. tony

4:06 pm
protesters to advance to them they were very proactive they were going in with battens tear gas shields water cannon so i think people came out today fully expecting that it was going to be more dangerous than the voices we're hearing on the streets saying they understand the risks they know how dangerous it is this is of course myanmar military that has a long track record of using this kind of brutality to scare and intimidate its own people but they said they're going to come out regardless they feel that the gains that they've made over the last 5 years to to establish some sort of democracy in the country will be lost if they don't stand up and they say they're going to stand their ground tony many thanks indeed al-jazeera story chang reporting live from bangkok what is b.m.r. human rights activist and co-founder of the forces of renewal southeast asia he says he's not surprised by the military's actions. you know i'm horrified i lived
