YANGON (Reuters): Opponents of Myanmar's coup splashed red paint and dye on roads and signs outside government offices on Wednesday (April 14) to represent the blood of people killed protesting against the junta, on the second day of the traditional new year holiday.

The display aimed at shaming the military took place in various towns and cities, according to pictures posted by media outlets, as people answered a call by activists to join what they termed a bloody paint strike.
