The generals detained members of the civilian government and their supporters after accusing them of committing voter fraud during national elections in 2020. In the ensuing month, anti-coup protests and worker strikes have erupted across Myanmar. Security forces are now responding with deadly force. 101 East documents the rising deaths as people refuse to back down. - - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/
