On March 13, the Golden Water People’s Strike Column conducted a protest march in Yinmabin Township, calling for action against the violent military under Article 33 of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The protesters carried banners demanding ‘ILO Implement Article 33 On Myanmar Now 2025’ and peacefully demonstrated against the military council’s oppression.
The demonstration focused on calling for international action against the military’s violations of workers’ rights. Protesters highlighted the loss of basic labor rights under the military dictatorship, including forced labor practices and unfair wage deductions. The peaceful march emphasized the need for concrete international measures to address the ongoing workers’ rights violations by the military regime.
Yinmabin Township, located in Sagaing Region, has been a significant center of anti-military dictatorship activism, where local residents continue to resist the military council’s oppressive measures. This protest represents part of the broader civilian movement against the military dictatorship, specifically calling for effective international intervention through ILO mechanisms. The demonstration underscores the continued resistance of Myanmar’s people against military rule and their appeal for meaningful international action to address human rights violations and labor rights abuses perpetrated by the military council.
