Anti-coup protesters donned flowers in their hair to mark the birthday of ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who remains under house arrest and is due to face court again next week.

Suu Kyi’s elected government was overthrown in a Feb 1 coup that sparked mass protests and renewed clashes between the military and ethnic rebel armies in border regions.
