Myanmar: Five protesters explain why they will not give up

More than 500 have died, but protesters say they must continue fight to avoid a return to Myanmar’s dark past.

Hundreds of people have been killed in Myanmar amid an increasingly violent response to continuing protests calling on the military to step down and restore democracy. The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, an advocacy group tracking deaths and detentions, says 510 people have been killed in the violence with Saturday marking the bloodiest day since the military seized power in a coup on February 1. Analysts doubt the brutality of the crackdown by the military, also known as the Tatmadaw, will deter the protesters.
