YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Sightings of armored personnel carriers in Myanmar’s biggest city and leaked orders of an impending internet shutdown have raised political tensions, after vast numbers of people around the country flouted orders against demonstrations to protest the military’s seizure of power. Public concern has already been heightened for the past few nights by what many charge is is the military’s manipulation of criminals released from prison to carry out nighttime violence and instill panic. Monday holds the prospect of two flashpoints for the political standoff, a court appearance by ousted national leader Aung San Suu Kyi and a possible announcement of the death of a young protester shot last week.
