Myanmar Demonstrators Burnt Chinese Factories; The Military Attacked “Protest Camp” and Killed 11 People

More than two months since the coup in Myanmar, according to the statistics of the local organisation assisting political prisoners, the death toll has reached at least 581. A Chinse factory in Yangon was burnt by the protesters today (7th April) while some protesters raised the slogans of boycott Chinese brands “Xiaomi” and “Huawei”. The military also attacked Hpruso Township in Kayah (Karenni) State, a “Tarhan protest camp” occupied by protesters, making 11 people died.

According to Reuters, some protesters raised the slogans with boycott Chinese brands in Yangon and burnt the flag of China to protest that China has been friendly to the military government who initiated the coup. Because of that, the protesters burnt 32 Chinese factories in Yangon last month, and today they burnt a Chinese clothing factory called JOC.

“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.
