Myanmar protesters paint anti-coup slogans on Easter eggs

Opponents of military rule hand out eggs bearing protest messages as death toll from turmoil reaches 557

Opponents of military rule in Myanmar inscribed messages of protest on Easter eggs on Sunday while thousands of others were back on the streets denouncing February's coup and facing off with the security forces, who shot and killed at least three men.

In the latest in a series of impromptu shows of defiance, messages including Spring revolution", We must win" and Get out MAH" - referring to the junta's leader, Gen Min Aung Hlaing - were written on eggs.
