3:17Now PlayingProtesters demanding the end of the military junta in Myanmar kept up their momentum on Friday, despite a heavy death toll the previous day when police opened fire on crowds in a number of cities.
In Mandalay about two thousand people marched through the city, calling for the restoration of democracy and the release of civilian leaders. The march ended without interference from the police.
On Thursday, Myanmar's security forces shot to death at least 10 people, including one demonstrator in Mandalay, protesting the military's coup. Myanmar has been roiled by protests, strikes and other acts of civil disobedience since the coup toppled Suu Kyi’s government Feb. 1 just as it was to start its second term.
The takeover reversed years of slow progress toward democracy in the Southeast Asian nation after five decades of military rule.
Bloomberg News' Kurumi Mori answers key questions about Myanmar's coup and its aftermath.
