Myanmar coup: Organising resistance from neighbouring Thailand

FOCUS © FRANCE 24

As Myanmar's junta continues its deadly crackdown on protests against the February 1 coup, we take you to the border between Thailand and Myanmar. Free from the army's repressive tactics, exiled Burmese citizens, including a host of former political prisoners, are getting organised in Thailand, providing practical and logistical support to the protest movement. In the border town of Mae Sot, hopes are high that demonstrators will eventually be able to force the junta's departure. FRANCE 24's Dider Gruel reports.

A programme prepared by Rebecca Martin, Jennie Shin and James Vasina.
