Video: Marching for Myanmar

People across the globe took to the streets this weekend in support of the people of Myanmar, who continue to be subjected to mass arrests and brutal repression.

Amnesty International was among those organising marches in countries around the world including Mongolia, Malaysia, Thailand, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US.

In London, AI Secretary General Irene Khan marched in solidarity with Burmese monks. She said: "Support is now greatly needed to keep visible pressure on the Myanmar authorities to stop the violence towards demonstrators, ensure the safety of detainees and release prisoners of conscience."
