Police in Myanmar occupy hospitals as unions call for national strike

Police target media outlet after hospitals stormed on Sunday night amid call for strike in protest at coup

Myanmar security forces have raided the Yangon offices of a local media outlet as the ruling junta widens its efforts to suppress opposition to the coup it carried out more than a month ago.

Soldiers and police on Monday evening raided the headquarters of Myanmar Now, a news outlet that regularly scrutinises the Tatmadaw, or military, seizing computers, part of the newsroom's data server and other equipment, a representative of the outlet said.
