Burmese Anti-Coup Protests Continue Two Weeks After Military Takeover
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Burma, protesters have taken to the streets for a 13th straight day
to oppose the February 1 military coup. On Wednesday, hundreds of
thousands of people marched in Rangoon in the largest anti-coup rally to
date. Some protesters rallied outside the Chinese Embassy to criticize
Beijing's support for the military junta. Nearly 500 people have been
charged and detained in Burma over the past two weeks.
