Thousand of people participated in protests against the military coup in Myanmar on Wednesday regardless of a warning from a U.N. official that the military could be planning a violent response to quell demonstrations, the Associated Press reported.

Protesters strategically parked their vehicles in Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, to keep military forces from getting to demonstrators who held signs demanding the release of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the AP reported. Large demonstrations were held in opposition to a ban on gatherings of more than five people in Mandalay and Naypyitaw.
