People from Myanmar have rallied around the world. They are urging the international community to take action against military rule in their country, ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, due to start on Tuesday.
Rallies took place in more than a dozen countries over the weekend. Protesters are calling on the international community to reject the military junta and recognize the National Unity Government. The NUG is made up of pro-democracy groups and supports ousted State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.
The military seized power in a coup in February. Crackdowns have continued over the past 8 months against opponents nationwide. A human rights group says more than 1,000 civilians have been killed, including children. Over 8,000 people have been arrested.
About 1,400 people joined the rally in Tokyo. They were chanting 'free Myanmar,' and giving the three-finger salute associated with the protest against the military rule. The protesters in Tokyo were mainly young people from Myanmar and Japanese people who support them.
People observed a moment of silence in a ceremony in front of the United Nations University for those killed in the violence.
Representatives of the protesters handed a letter to the university staff requesting that the UN recognize the National Unity Government.
NUG Acting President Duwa Lashi La posted a speech online last week calling on the People's Defense Force to resist military rule. The force is made up of armed citizens and ethnic minority fighters.

Typhoon Chanthu is heading north and is expected to come close to the Yaeyama islands in Okinawa Prefecture on Sunday afternoon.
Meteorological officials are warning that the typhoon could bring violent winds.
Chanthu is expected to retain its power as it approaches the Sakishima Island chain in Okinawa Prefecture on Sunday afternoon to evening.
Gusts of close to 108 kilometers per hour were recorded at about 9:10 a.m. on Yonaguni Island and over 97.2 kilometers per hour on Iriomote Island.
The officials are advising people to evacuate to a strong building and stay away from the windows.
They say that past typhoons of this level have toppled utility poles and concrete block walls and flipped vehicles onto their sides.
Clouds from the typhoon are beginning to shroud the area. Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., 31.5 millimeters of rain was recorded at Miyako airport.
As more developed clouds cover the region, extreme rain with thunder can be expected.
Over the 24 hours until Monday morning, 180 millimeters of rain will fall in the Yaeyama region.
Meteorologists say there could also be lightning strikes and gusty winds.
The typhoon is expected to head toward the continent but is likely to linger over the East China Sea until Thursday as westerlies are blowing further north over the Korean Peninsula.
Chanthu may approach western Japan, including Kyushu, during the latter half of the week, bringing heavy rain.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency will hold talks with the new head of Iran's atomic energy organization on Sunday.
The IAEA announced on Saturday that Rafael Grossi was scheduled to arrive in Iran on that day and meet Mohammad Eslami on the following day.
It is Grossi's first visit to Iran since the new government led by president Ebrahim Raisi was formed in August.
Grossi and Eslami's meeting comes before the IAEA's regular meeting of governors, which will begin on Monday.
The two are expected to discuss the report issued by the IAEA on Tuesday on Iran's nuclear program.
The report says that Iran is continuing to enrich uranium to up to 60 percent purity, a level far beyond limits set under the 2015 nuclear deal.
It says that Iran had an estimated 10 kilograms of uranium enriched to that level.
The report also says that as Iran does not cooperate, the agency's surveillance activities are severely hampered.
The United States and Iran began indirect talks in April to salvage the 2015 agreement, but those talks have stalled.

People in the United States are marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
On September 11, 2001, hijackers flew two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. A third aircraft crashed into the Pentagon near Washington DC, and a fourth plane into a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks killed 2,977 people.
In New York, a memorial ceremony started at around 8:30 a.m. local time at the site of the World Trade Center.
Bereaved families as well as President Joe Biden, the First Lady, and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were in attendance.
The participants offered prayers six times at the instant the four planes had crashed into their targets and when each of the Twin Towers had collapsed.
The names of the victims were also read aloud one by one.
The names are engraved on parapets surrounding two memorial pools. Bereaved families were seen placing hands on the names of their loved ones they had lost and offering flowers to them.
Sugiyama Harumi, the wife of a Japanese victim, also attended the ceremony. Her husband, Yoichi, had been working at the office of a bank in the South Tower at the time of the attack.
Sugiyama told NHK that standing at the site, she really felt 20 years had passed. She said she is grateful to her husband for watching over her for these years and that she feels as if he is congratulating her on her hard effort to live without him.
Memorial ceremonies were also held in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where all those on board the hijacked plane had died, as well as at the Pentagon, where passengers and Defense Department officials had died.
The United States withdrew all its forces from Afghanistan in August, 20 years after it launched a military campaign in the country in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. The withdrawal demonstrated the turning point of the US strategy over the 20-year "war against terrorism".

Key words : 93 percent
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20210912_03/
The United Nations is urging the international community to promptly extend assistance to the Afghan people as 93 percent of them have not been eating sufficient food since the Taliban retook power in mid-August.
Many Afghans have been deprived of cash earnings now that they lost jobs and banks remain closed.
Their situation is getting serious with acute food shortages and surging consumer prices.
In the capital, Kabul, displaced people from around the country are living in tents set up outdoors in parks and other spaces. Many of them survive by depending on food offered by well-wishers in the neighborhood.
A woman told NHK that her children are so hungry that they quarrel over even a morsel of bread.
She said she evacuated to Kabul from a northern province with her seven children after her home was destroyed in a battle two-and-a-half months before.
She said people like her family desperately need help to get out of this terrible situation.
At an online news conference on Saturday, the World Food Programme's Deputy Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, Anthea Webb, said the WFP is begging for help to "avoid food stock running out in October."
She said, "It's now a race against time and the snow to deliver life-saving assistance to Afghan people who need it most."
