At least 21 protesters were killed in clashes in Myanmar's capital city Yangon as politicians ousted by the military coup called for "revolution," reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Security forces opened fire in the Yangon area of Hlaing Tharyar as protesters used sticks and knives.
The junta declared martial law in the area after Chinese businesses were attacked, said the BBC report.
Myanmar has been gripped by protests since the military coup on 1 February.
Military rulers have detained Aung San Suu Kyi, the country's civilian leader and head of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, the report added.
The NLD won a landslide in last year's election but the military alleged there had been widespread fraud.
Some of the ousted MPs have refused to accept last month's coup and have gone into hiding, said the report.
