At least five anti-coup protesters were killed in Myanmar on Sunday as security forces intensified crackdowns, particularly in Yangon's Hlaing Tharyar township.
A group of ousted MPs, forming a shadow 'parliament' (CRPH), urged citizens to 'defend themselves' against the military junta, calling it the nation's 'darkest moment'.
Despite escalating violence, with over 80 reported deaths by a local monitoring group, protesters across the country remain defiant, continuing daily demonstrations against military rule.
