Protesters in Yangon carried red balloons – the colour representing Suu Kyi's National League for Democracracy Party (NLD) – and chanted, "We don't want military dictatorship! We want democracy!"
By mid-morning about 100 people had also gathered in the coastal town of Mawlamine in the southeast and students and doctors were gathering in the city of Mandalay.
