Protesters against Myanmar’s military coup returned to the streets of downtown Yangon, defiantly chanting their opposition to the army’s seizure of power as the junta chief prepared to attend a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders on the country’s crisis. Such open demonstrations in the center of Myanmar's largest city all but stopped a few weeks ago, as a deadly crackdown on dissent by security forces made it too dangerous. It was in Yangon that the first major demonstrations were held against the February cup, which resulted in the election of the government of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Video filmed on April 28 shows young protesters chanting slogans and leaving signs on the seats of the bus in a show of defiance.
