Anti-coup protesters in Myanmar clashed with police as hundreds of thousands joined nationwide pro-democracy demonstrations in defiance of the military government’s call to halt mass gatherings.


The United Nations human rights office said more than 350 people, including officials, activists and monks, have been arrested in Myanmar since the February 1 military coup that removed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, including some who face criminal charges on “dubious grounds”.


But three people were wounded when police fired rubber bullets to break up a crowd of tens of thousands in the southeastern city of Mawlamyine, a Myanmar Red Cross official told  news agency.

Footage broadcast by Radio Free Asia showed police charging at protesters, grabbing one and smashing him in the head. Stones were then thrown at police before the shots were fired.

“Three got shot – one woman in the womb, one man on his cheek and one man on his arm,” said Myanmar Red Cross official Kyaw Myint, who witnessed the clash.

“The crowd is still growing,” he added.

Life may not be as rosy as it ought to be, if Dj Cuppy’s tweet is anything to go by. In a recent tweet, Cuppy, whose real name is Florence Otedola, gave out the clue that she was a lonely person at the moment. “Not me! (I was) up at 2:29am wishing I had someone to cuddle with” Dj Cuppy tweeted, indicating she was lonely. It would be recalled that recently, the ‘Gelato’ crooner, accused Zlatan, who she featured on the song, of blocking her on his social media accounts. She felt so pained of being blocked by Zlatan, that she had to voice out. Zlatan however, has not replied her question yet, leading to rumours that both Cuppy and Zlatan, are not enjoying a rosy relationship at the moment. Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, 29, professionally known as Cuppy, is a Nigerian disc jockey and producer. She is the daughter of Nigerian businessman Femi Otedola.
