Myanmar Coup: Digital Resistance

On February 1, 2021, Myanmar’s military seized power after detaining State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically elected leaders. In a letter written in preparation for her impending detention, Aung San Suu Kyi said the military’s actions would put the country back under a dictatorship and she urged supporters to “protest against the coup.” In MYANMAR COUP: DIGITAL RESISTANCE, NHK worked with a team of digital investigators to learn more about the protesters’ work in Myanmar and how supporters outside the country are assisting in the fight.
