“Never Kneel Before the Military Boots”: A #Flashmob Protest in
#Myanmar Commemorating Deceased Student Movement Leader
Myanmar has experienced a coup for five months. A flash protest occurred around Yangon on 26 June, 2021 to oppose the military’s seizure of power.
It was a Saturday when some civilians participated in the flashmob protest, flashing torches and holding signboards. Some of them raised three fingers, and then left very quickly.
That was also the 45th year of the death of Salai Tin Maung Oo, a student movement's leader who was hanged on 26 June 1976 when he was in jail.
In 2021, protesters held the sign “I’ll never kneel before your military boots”, which was the last words of Salai Tin Maung Oo. It also indicated that they would not yield to the military government.
