The Dhaka Times Desk Myanmar's military has been getting tougher in its crackdown on resistance protests that have continued since a military coup on February 1. Sunday was the bloodiest day since the military coup. 50 people were killed that day.
It has been reported that as many as 50 people died when the soldiers opened fire on protests in various parts of Myanmar. The largest number of people died in Yangon, the country's largest city. News from BBC Bengal.
It is learned that the army has started imposing strict martial law in new areas across the country.
The whereabouts of Aung San Suu Kyi, whose NLD party won a majority in November's elections, have been unclear since the coup. He is believed to be detained at an undisclosed location. He was scheduled to appear in court on Monday but the virtual hearing has been postponed.
Meanwhile, the biggest protests since the military coup are in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar and the country's largest city. Martial law was imposed in two areas of the city after several Chinese businesses were attacked in the city on Sunday.
Yangon's Hlaing Tharaiya area has several factories that are operated by Chinese investment. The Chinese say their factories are being targeted by protesters, which is why they need security.
The Chinese government said that the protesters attacked with rods, axes and gasoline and damaged at least 10 factories. These are basically garment factories or warehouses. A Chinese hotel was also targeted.
The Chinese Embassy in Myanmar wrote on their Facebook page that the factories were looted and extensive damage was done. Many Chinese workers were injured and many were trapped.
Gunshots were also heard in the area throughout the day on Sunday. Army trucks were also seen on the road. Protesters built a barricade with sandbags, tires and barbed wire. Some protesters are seen making makeshift shields and moving forward to rescue the injured.
"The country's military is still showing no signs of considering a compromise with the government they ousted," the BBC correspondent said.
