A protest against the military dictatorship was held today, February 28, in Yebyu Township, Dawei District, Tanintharyi Region. The demonstration was organized to commemorate the fourth anniversary of four martyrs who lost their lives when the military council violently cracked down on the Dawei People’s Strike four years ago.
The Dawei People’s Strike was one of the peaceful demonstrations against the military coup, which ended in tragedy when the violent military council used excessive force, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians. This incident stands as a testament to the military council’s brutality against the people of Myanmar. Today’s commemoration serves to preserve the legacy of the fallen heroes and demonstrates the continued commitment to the struggle against the military dictatorship through sacrifice and determination.
During the protest activity in Yebyu Township, local residents peacefully demonstrated while holding signs expressing their opposition to the military dictatorship. They also conducted ceremonies paying respect and tribute to the fallen heroes. This protest movement reflects the Myanmar people’s dissatisfaction with the military dictatorship and their unwavering determination to achieve democracy. The demonstration serves as a reminder of the ongoing resistance against military rule and the people’s commitment to honoring those who have sacrificed their lives for the cause of democracy in Myanmar.
