Myanmar protesters take up Easter eggs as junta seeks to jail celebrities ‘for dissent’
Opponents of military rule in Myanmar have made the Easter egg a symbol of defiance, posting pictures of shells with slogans after a night of candle-lit vigils across the country to remember those killed since the February 1 coup.
Key points:
- Opponents of military rule decorate Easter eggs with pro-democracy messages
- Authorities issue arrest warrants for almost 40 celebrities known for opposing the coup
- French company Total says it won’t stop producing gas in Myanmar despite international pressure
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), an activist group monitoring casualties and arrests since the military overthrew the elected government of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, said the toll of dead had risen to 557.
