YANGON (Reuters): Police fired a water cannon at protesters in the Myanmar capital on Monday (Feb 8) as tens of thousands of people across the country joined a third day of demonstrations against the military's removal of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi a week ago.
Calls to join protests and to back a campaign of civil disobedience have grown louder and more organised since last Monday's coup, which drew widespread international condemnation.
