Huge anti-coup rallies in Myanmar after junta threat

21 Sept 22:47 Key points summarised by AI

Tens of thousands of anti-coup protesters defiantly rallied across Myanmar, undeterred by the junta's explicit threat to use lethal force against what it branded "anarchy."
The military junta escalated its threats, warning of "loss of life" for protesters, following a weekend where three demonstrators were shot dead and a young woman, the first confirmed fatality, was buried.
A widespread civil disobedience campaign continues to cripple government operations, while international pressure mounts with the US, Canada, and Britain imposing sanctions, and the EU considering further measures, despite Myanmar's accusations of interference.
