Anyone associated with the protests risks arrest, and no one knows where they are taken.
I am a freelance journalist and analyst in Yangon, and I live at home with my mother and father.
Yangon is my hometown but now the atmosphere here is like a ghost city. On the streets we face a lot of danger from the military. We can go out during the day, taking care, but nobody wants to go out in the evening.
We have a lot of stress because every day we hear news about many people dying. The military and the police have cracked down brutally on anyone against the coup, and everyone is angry about the situation. We feel the coup has robbed us of our rights.
