Myanmar: The spring revolution - a podcast by BBC World Service

More than 750 people have been killed by the Myanmar military since they seized power in a coup three months ago. Mass protests demanding a return to democracy and the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi have been met with brutal force. Borders are closed and the internet effectively blocked. This is a story the military does not want the world to hear. But people are bravely documenting their resistance. We follow three young activists now in a fight for their future. As their options close…Can they win back democracy?

Produced and presented by Rebecca Henschke with Kelvin BrownReporting team: Banyol Kong Janoi, Phyu Zin Poe and Zarchi
