Ethnic, LGBT groups take to streets to protest against Myanmar military junta

People are protesting against the military junta for overthrowing the democratically elected government. The ethnic and LGBTQ groups of Myanma  on Saturday also came out on the streets to protest . The members of the community are among the most visible participants in the continuing protests against the coup leaders, expressing their opposition in creative ways. 

According to the report, Saturday's protest, which fell on Chin National Day, was focused on four demands: getting rid of the Constitution, ending dictatorship, a federal system and the release of all leaders. 

On Friday, a woman named Mya Thweh Thweh Khine died after being shot in the head last week during an anti-coup protest in Myanmar's capital. Mya Thweh Thweh Khine is the first known casualty of pro-democracy protests that have been going on since the military's seizure of power on February 1.

Public anger at the coup has intensified in recent days, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets in towns, cities and villages across the country. The coup has been condemned globally; the UK and Canada had imposed sanctions on three generals from Myanmar's junta.
