Tokyo [Japan], May 3 (ANI): Thousands of Myanmarese residents in Japan took the streets to call upon Tokyo to recognise the National Unity Government (NUG), an organisation set up in opposition to the February 1 military coup, as Myanmar's legitimate governing body.
According to Kyodo News, similar events took place in South Korea and Taiwan and were scheduled in the United States, Britain and other European countries in what participants called "Global MyanmarSpring Revolution Day".
The participants painted three fingers of both hands in red to symbolise the blood of about 750 peaceful demonstrators and other citizens killed by security forces in Myanmar., according to an activist monitoring group.
