Myanmar protesters surround party headquarters of detained Aung San Suu Kyi
Anti-coup protesters in Myanmar's largest city of Yangon surrounded the headquarters of detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party on Monday (February 15) amid a noticeable increase of security personnel.
While rows of heavily armed soldiers and riot police could be seen behind barricades guarding the NLD building, protesters gathered around surrounding roads, holding placards and chanting. Some people inside the NLD headquarters could also be seen waving down at crowds below.
Since Sunday (February 14), armored vehicles have been deployed in Yangon, Myitkyina and Sittwe in the west, the first large-scale use of such vehicles since the coup.
The February 1 coup and the arrest of Suu Kyi and others have sparked the biggest protests in Myanmar in more than a decade, with hundreds of thousands coming onto the streets to denounce the military's derailment of a tentative transition to democracy.
