People in Myanmar honk horns, bang on pots to protest coup
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) Scores of people in Myanmars largest city honked car horns and banged on pots and pans Tuesday in the first known public resistance to the coup led a day earlier by the countrys military.
What was initially planned to take place for just a few minutes extended to more than a quarter-hour in several neighborhoods of Yangon. Shouts could be heard wishing detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi good health and calling for freedom.
Beating a drum in Myanmar culture is like we are kicking out the devils, said one participant who declined to give his name for fear of reprisals.
Several pro-democracy groups had asked people to make noise at 8 p.m. to show their opposition to the coup.
A senior politician and close confidante of Suu Kyi also urged citizens to defy the military through civil disobedience.
