Myanmar junta accused of crimes against humanity six months on from coup

Human Rights Watch says army's suppression of protests has included torture and murder, as small protests mark milestone

Human Rights Watch has accused Myanmar's military junta of crimes against humanity as small groups of protesters marked six months since the armed forces seized power.

Bands of university students rode motorbikes around the country's second-largest city Mandalay on Saturday waving red and green flags, saying they rejected any possibility of talks with the military to negotiate a return to civilian rule.
