Anti-coup protesters marched against the military junta at a pre-dawn rally in Mandalay – the nation’s second largest city yesterday, a day after eight demonstrators were killed.

Myanmar has been convulsed by demonstrations against a coup that ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi last month, with the junta ordering a brutal crackdown in response.
