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 event was organized by the Northern No-Return Revolutionary Strike Column as an anti-military dictatorship protest. The demonstration specifically focused on urging the international community to take stronger action against the military regime through ILO mechanisms.
Local residents participated in the movement to express their opposition to the military dictatorship and called for the ILO to take effective action against Myanmar’s military regime. The protesters highlighted the military council’s ongoing violations of workers’ rights and the use of forced labor across the country. They emphasized the need for international pressure to hold the military accountable for these violations and to end the systematic oppression of workers and civilians.
Yinmabin Township has been a stronghold of public resistance since the military coup, with local residents consistently opposing the military dictatorship. This public movement demonstrates the unity and determination of the people in their struggle against the military regime. The residents continue to hope for more effective action from the international community, particularly through mechanisms like ILO Article 33, which could provide additional pressure on the military council to end its violations of workers’ rights and human rights in general.
