Protesters in a blue T-shirt protesting the release of detainees following a military coup in the country erupted today (April 21). 

    Some international embassies in the country also issued a statement today calling for the release of all political prisoners, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. 

    Anti-coup groups across the country are marking the eighth anniversary of the death of former political prisoner and journalist Hantharwady Win Tin.
