A small crowd of Buddhist monks took to the streets of Yangon, Myanmar, on Tuesday (February 16) to protest against the military coup.

The protesters held signs reading "monks who don't want a military dictatorship" and "reject the coup."

Nationwide protests in Myanmar against the military’s overthrow of the elected civilian government continued Tuesday despite a shutdown of the Internet for a second consecutive night. Buddhist monks marched during an anti-coup protest on February 16, 2021 in Yangon.
Clashes between protesters and Myanmar police have been escalating since the military detained de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other high-ranking officials of the civilian government on February 1 and declared a one-year state of emergency, citing widespread fraud in last November’s general elections, won by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy in a landslide. The military’s claims were rejected by Myanmar’s electoral commission.
