Myanmar activists initiate a 'silent strike' following the tragic death of a 7-year-old girl, the youngest victim of security forces' violence in Mandalay.
The planned strike, involving business closures and calls for people to stay home, aims to intensify anti-coup protests against the military junta.
International condemnation mounts against the junta for its lethal suppression of protests and the coup, as new sanctions are imposed by the EU and US.
Ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, currently detained, faces new charges and is scheduled for a court hearing amid the military's accusations of election fraud.
