Such an open opposition against the military regime reminds me Solidarity times in Poland. I hope that people and the common sense would prevail.

CNN’s Clarissa Ward Files Stunning Report From Myanmar Under Military Lockdownard-files-stunning-report-from-myanmar-under-military-lockdown
there is a very interesting video there:
CNN’s Clarissa Ward filed a stunning report from inside Myanmar, as the nation’s military continues to use deadly force against those who oppose the February military coup that overthrew the country’s democratically-elected leaders.
Ward’s report highlighted some “extraordinarily brave” citizens who continue to speak out, and in doing so, risking their lives. She described a country under “brutal” military rule, in which more than 600 people have been killed, including dozens of children. Ward also directly confronted proponents of the military crackdown, incredulous at the way they justified the killing of hundreds of people.
“By day, they continue their brutal crackdown, killing protestors who refuse to submit to military rule,” Ward said.
Ward described nighttime raids in which the military round up activists, sometimes killing them.
“Two months after overthrowing Myanmar’s democratically-elected government in a coup, the junta has been unapologetic in its ruthlessness,” Ward said. “Fearless journalists and activists have risked everything to show the world what is happening, while outside access to the country has been blocked.”
CNN journalists were the first the military invited into the country since the coup, and Ward noted that she and her team were closely minded – and guarded – by military escorts.
“Six trucks full of soldiers accompanying our every move,” Ward said.
Ward and the CNN team were brought to a gathering of alleged victims of the protests, who she described as “dutifully” waiting for CNN. They told CNN that they had been beaten, threatened and humiliated by the “violators,” a pejorative term for pro-democracy protestors. One local administrator complained that the protestors were noisy and broke the law by gathering in groups of more than five.
