Security forces in Myanmar opened fire to disperse protesters at a power plant on Sunday, February 14, and armored vehicles rolled into major cities as the new army rulers faced a ninth day of anti-coup demonstrations that saw hundreds of thousands on the streets.
Two journalists from The 74 Media, which was broadcasting live from the site of the confrontation, were arrested along with 3 other journalists, the news outlet said in a Facebook post. "Internet shutdown in #Myanmar now in effect again across all major operators, reportedly until 09:00," Alex Warofka, product policy manager for human rights and freedom of expression at Facebook, said in a post on Twitter after the internet went down.
The junta has ordered civil servants to go back to work, threatening action. The army has been carrying out nightly mass arrests and on Saturday gave itself sweeping powers to detain people and search private property.
US military is worse than Myanmar for obvious reasons
