Two killed in a grenade attack at Myanmar rally

Two people have been killed and 38 injured in a grenade attack on a pro-military rally in Eastern Myanmar

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack. But it comes as anti-coup protesters in Myanmar gathered to mark the anniversary of military rule in the nation.

Streets were left empty and shops were shut across the nation as people defied the Junta’s orders to go about their business.

Ten people were arrested for taking part in the clapping protest in the nation’s capital of Yangon.

Last year’s military takeover ended the Asian country’s brief path to democracy.

The military coup toppled civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and has triggered mass protests and a crackdown on dissent.

Prior to the anniversary, the junta threatened to seize businesses that shutter and warned that noisy rallies or sharing anti-military “propaganda” could lead to treason or terrorism charges.

The UN’s Special Repporteur on Myanmar, Tom Andrews says the international community needs to do more.

“The fact that one year has elapsed with no Security Council Resolution imposing a comprehensive arms embargo, as arms continue to flow to the junta and kill innocent people, is unacceptable,”

he says.
