On August 27 in Yangon, the Kalay People’s Strike Leading Committee, together with the People’s Education Strike Column, held a protest against the illegal sham election planned by the terrorist military council in the Kalay region. Protesters peacefully demonstrated while holding signs opposing the military council’s illegitimate election. They also carried signs supporting the public education system and opposing the military council’s education system.
Participants in the protest stated that the military council is attempting to hold a sham election without the consent of the public, which they say is an attempt to maintain the military dictatorship system. They also expressed that the military council continues to violate people’s basic freedoms and commit acts of violence against civilians. The protesters emphasized that this election lacks legitimacy and does not represent the true will of the Myanmar people.
This protest led by the Kalay People’s Strike Leading Committee is part of the broader anti-military council movements taking place across Myanmar. The people continue to unite and fight for democracy while opposing the military council’s oppression. Participants in the protest demonstrated their brave resistance against the military council’s unjust oppression, showing that they will not be intimidated by the regime’s tactics. The protest represents the ongoing struggle of Myanmar’s people against military rule and their determination to achieve genuine democratic reform.
