The military junta does not stop intensifying pressure on the pro-democracy movement.

Nearly three weeks after the coup overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's government and ended a fragile 10-year democratic transition , protests from the international community and the announcement of new sanctions do not deter the generals.
Arrests continue with nearly 550 people arrested in 3 weeks (political officials, striking civil servants, activists…), according to a non-governmental organization. Only 40 of them have been released .
