Myanmar’s democratically elected National League for Democracy (NLD) party was overthrown by Myanmar’s military, known as the Tatmadaw, on February 1, 2021. Since then there have been mass protests across the country. The Tatmadaw has cracked down on these protests, leading to the deaths of over 1,700 people.
