A public movement calling for the implementation of International Labour Organization (ILO) Article 33 on Myanmar was held in Yinmabin Township, Sagaing Region, on March 8. The protest was led by the Northern Never Return Spring Revolution Strike Column as part of ongoing anti-military dictatorship demonstrations. The event specifically focused on urging international action through ILO mechanisms to address labor rights violations in Myanmar.
The public movement brought together local residents and activists who demonstrated their opposition to the military regime while calling for the ILO to take concrete action under Article 33 regarding Myanmar. The demonstration aimed to draw increased international attention to the military council’s violations of workers’ rights and instances of forced labor throughout the country. The protesters emphasized the need for stronger international measures to address these ongoing human rights violations under the military regime.
The northern region of Yinmabin has been actively involved in the people’s resistance movement since the military coup, regularly organizing such public demonstrations to amplify the voices of citizens fighting for democracy. While facing continued oppression from the military council, the people are seeking international support and recognition for their struggle. This particular movement represents another effort by the local population to bring international mechanisms to bear against the military regime’s systematic violations of labor and human rights.
