Two years ago, on Feb 1, the day that Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy were set to sit in a new parliament, the Myanmar military shocked the world by staging a deeply unpopular coup.
People throughout Myanmar mounted massive, peaceful rallies against the State Administration Council (SAC) demanding restoration of democracy and their elected leaders. The military and other security forces cracked down with deadly force, sparking a human rights and humanitarian disaster that persist to the present.
