Group of protesters demonstrating against military rule in Myanmar have thrown petrol bombs on a bridge in the city of Yangon, setting barricades on fire.

Local media has reported Myanmar's security forces killed at least 20 people taking part in pro-democracy demonstrations on Monday, and the number added up to the total of 183 people who lost their lives during the protest.

As the tension rises, a court postponed the hearing of the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi because of the internet outage.
