How Myanmar coup has united Rohinyas and other ethnic groups to protest for Aung San Suu Kyi

Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “How Myanmar coup has united Rohinyas and other ethnic groups to protest for Aung San Suu Kyi” – below is their description.

Protesters have returned to the streets in Myanmar, despite yesterday’s violence in which 38 people died.

The opposition to the military coup has managed to bring ethnic groups together, in a country where minorities have been denied rights for decades.

The mostly Muslim Rohingya suffered greatly under Aung San Suu Kyi’s government, and were forced to flee to Bangladesh.

But what do they think now – as protesters demand her reinstatement?
