  <text>Security forces kill at least 54 anti-coup protesters in several cities, thirty-seven of whom in Yangon. A policeman is also killed. It is the protests' deadliest day. The civilian Vice President, Mahn Win Khaing Than, says that they will pass legislation to &quot;give people the right to defend themselves against the military&quot; and calls for a &quot;revolution&quot; to overthrow the junta. Meanwhile, a junta spokesman labels the protesters as &quot;criminals&quot; but refuses to elaborate. </text>
