corruption allegations against the national league for democracy, claims of voterfraud national leagueclaims of voter fraud in the november election, the idea that the coup, this takeover was to make myanmar more peaceful, somehow more democratic, whatever that means, but you know, these are things which have been repeated time and time again. he also took a swipe against protesters saying that they were the ones responsible for the violence and the bloodshed that we have been seeing on the streets over the past month or so, which is absolutely staggering, really, when you consider that this man is the head of a professional fighting force which has just come out like you mentioned and said we will shoot you in the headif said we will shoot you in the head if you are protesting and misbehaving. i mean, if you look at this parade, this whole spectacle in the context of what has been happening in the last couple of months, or the indiscriminate killings, the horrific violence, the images that we have seen, the indescribable suffering really so many people in myanmar since the coup was la

party the national league for democracy which is the party that won the election in november of 2020. number of their leadership has been arrested and were arrested on the very 1st days of the coup but what we're seeing now is that they are targeting the people who are the most outspoken including union leaders frank about members of the winning party as well as the activists that they can find on the streets so that's what's happening in younger on the biggest city in myanmar what about other parts of the country where there have also been protests what can you tell us about the. so other parts of the country are seeing very many protests and the level of violence that we're seeing there really depends on both the type of protests that are being used by protesters as well as who's being involved in those protests so in certain areas like shan state and the state where there are ethnic armed organizations you do see that protests tend to be either very violent with the police outright killing people using live rounds to disperse people or they're quite say at least from security force
