Protests grow in Myanmar despite internet restrictions and police crackdowns - a podcast by PBS NewsHour

Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the streets in Myanmar Wednesday to protest former civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi's trial, which began this week in secret. Protestors have been calling for the reinstatement of democracy since the military launched a coup on Feb. 1. And as Nick Schifrin reports, they are also demanding a society that ignores their new military leaders. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
