Protesters march after military truck rams crowd killing five in Myanmar

Angry demonstrators slammed what they said was a military dictatorship in Myanmar after a violent dispersal left five protesters dead in Yangon City.

The activists marched on the streets of Yangon on Monday December 6 to condemn excessive military force used to stifle dissent and opposition voices. Doing the subversive three-fingered salute from the film series 'The Hunger Games', they carried a flaming torch and banners cursing Burmese politician and army general Min Aung Hlaing, who seized power on February 1 after staging a coup and placing Myanmar in a state of emergency.
