Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the offices of the United Nations in Bangkok on Sunday to demand action on restoring peace in Myanmar. Most demonstrators were Myanmar citizens living in Thailand. The two countries share a border and Thailand is home to a very large diaspora of Myanmar nationals.

On February 1, the military ousted Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government and declared a year-long state of emergency. Since then, protests have been held by the people in Myanmar across various cities. Military-led actions to crush protests have led to blood-shed atrocities in which dozens of citizens have been killed.
