Myanmar police on Wednesday arrested dozens of activists and factory workers as they broke up a labour rights march on the capital, the latest rally to test freedoms under Aung San Suu Kyi's new civilian government.
Around 200 police moved in on the demonstrators, many wearing bamboo hats and waving banners calling for worker rights, as they entered the outskirts of Naypyidaw -- where they hoped to speak to the government.
"We arrested about 60 protesters today. We tried to do it without hurting anyone," Naypyidaw region police chief Ko Ko Aung told AFP. (Courtesy of dailymail.co.uk)
