The execution of four political activists in Myanmar sparked protests around the world today.

Footage shows Burmese demonstrators gathering around the Embassy of Myanmar in Bangkok, Thailand, on Tuesday afternoon July 26.

A junta spokesperson said the executions were carried out on Saturday. It was Myanmar's first use of capital punishment since the late 1980s.

The country has suffered ongoing unrest and uprisings from rebel groups following the removal of well-liked leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a military coup last February. Soldiers responded with barbaric force to protests.

Britain has imposed financial sanctions on Myanmar and lists a number of individuals who are targeted for asset seizures.
