Thousands of demonstrators gathered on Friday, February 5th to protest the coup that toppled the government of Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday, February 1st. The army continues to arrest politicians, activists, and protesters in general.
Demonstrators and supporters of democracy make the three-finger salute – the mark of resistance from democratic movements – which became popular during the 1998 uprising that was violently suppressed by the military. The walls in Myanmar’s buildings are written under the slogan of the democratic citizens “Long live Your Mother”.
