Three people were feared dead and at least 15 arrested after Myanmar security forces rammed into an anti-coup protest in a car in Yangon, witnesses and a protest organiser have said. Photos and videos on social media show a vehicle that had crashed through the protesters and bodies lying on the road. Demonstrations against the military have continued despite the killing of more than 1,300 people since the 1 February coup. The military has also said it staged the coup because a November election won by Aung San Suu Kyi’s party was rigged, a claim the electoral commission has dismissed. Aung San Suu Kyi, 76, faces a dozen cases against her including incitement and violations of Covid-19 protocols.
