As well as Mandalay, there were new peaceful protest marches in Taungoo, Thayet, Myingyan, Madaya and several other cities.

In Yangon, where some protesters turned out, government further restricted communications, limiting access to timely information.

The verified death toll among protesters since the Feb. 1 coup ousting of the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi has now exceeded 200, according to a tally compiled by the independent Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
