YANGON (Reuters): Opponents of military rule in Myanmar splashed the colour red on Wednesday (April 14), the second day of the traditional new year holiday, in the latest phase of their campaign to restore democracy.

Activists called for what they dubbed a bloody paint strike and people responded with red smeared on roads, on signs outside government offices and on T-shirts, according to pictures posted on social media.
