Some 100 protesters march briefly in Yangon’s Tamwe township, chanting “let’s end military dictatorship” and “let’s root out the fascist army”.
A flag representing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is also burned.

Meanwhile, the trial of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi will hear its first testimony in a junta court Monday, more than four months after February’s military coup. The junta has brought a variety of charges against the Nobel laureate, from illegally accepting 11 kilograms of gold to breaking a colonial-era secrecy law.
