In Myanmar protesters continued to take to the streets Saturday, including in northern Kachin state, where demonstrators wore blue shirts to symbolise detainees, demonstrating against the Military junta.

In commercial hub Yangon, some residents staged a mock funeral for Senior General Min Aung Hlaing by smashing saffron-coloured clay pots on the ground, symbolic of cutting ties with the dead.

The general's involvement in the Jakarta ASEAN talks has angered activists, human rights groups and the National Unity Government (NUG), a collection of ousted Myanmar lawmakers, which was not invited to the gathering.

"Meetings that contribute to a solution to the deepening crisis in Myanmar are welcome," the NUG said in a statement.

"(But) meetings that exclude the people of Myanmar but include murderer-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing... are unlikely to be helpful."

The lawmakers called on the junta to "stop murdering civilians", release more than 3,000 political prisoners and return power to the country's democratically elected government.

"The crisis initiated by a murderous and unrepentant Myanmar military has engulfed the country, and will cause severe aftershocks -- humanitarian and more -- for the entire region," rights group Amnesty International said ahead of the meeting.

Myanmar Saturday, protesters persisted in taking to the streets -- angered by ASEAN's invitation to the junta regime.

A demonstration on motorbikes where protesters flashed the three-finger salute of resistance as they drove outside Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw turned violent by afternoon when police and soldiers opened fire.

A 50-year-old protester was detained and killed, a witness told AFP.

"Police held him on each side, then a soldier shot him in the back," the 27-year-old protester said, adding that security forces took the man's body.

"We only had the three-finger salute, but they had weapons to take our lives," he said.

"I want to deliver a message to the ASEAN leaders... do not support him (Min Aung Hlaing)."

Saturday's violence adds to the more than 740 people killed since the coup, according to a local monitoring group.
