A protest was held in South Korea to commemorate the 80th birthday of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The demonstration was organized by Myingyan G-Z Group, Bogyoke Thaung Support Group, Asoka Thukha Group, and Myanmar democracy activists based in South Korea. The protesters demanded the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners who have been unjustly detained by the military regime.
Participants in the protest carried signs and posters opposing the violent military junta, conducting a peaceful demonstration while calling for increased international pressure to support Myanmar’s democracy. They also raised their voices for the complete end of the military dictatorship and the establishment of a federal democratic system. The protesters emphasized the importance of international community involvement in resolving Myanmar’s ongoing crisis.
During the protest, Myanmar citizens in South Korea displayed posters featuring images of Aung San Suu Kyi and carried flags incorporating the red and yellow colors symbolic of Myanmar’s democracy movement. The demonstration was conducted peacefully and in accordance with South Korean laws and regulations, with protesters maintaining order throughout the event. The gathering served as both a birthday commemoration and a continued call for democratic reform in Myanmar, highlighting the ongoing struggle against military rule and the aspiration for genuine democratic transformation in the country.
