More protests against the Myanmar military junta that overthrew a hugely popular democratically-elected government in a coup d’état in February were held in several cities across the country on Sunday, EFE reported.

The latest demonstrations came after an agreement was reached between leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and the military junta to end violence against civilians during a summit in Jakarta on Saturday.

Although there were no mass demonstrations in Myanmar’s large cities, some smaller peaceful marches took place, the report said.
