Opponents of Myanmar’s ruling junta splashed red paint and dye on buildings and streets across the country on Wednesday to symbolize the blood of hundreds of civilians killed by the regime, which searched houses in major cities to root out protesters and moved to arrest doctors who oppose the military takeover.
Protesters in multiple cities marked the second day of Burmese New Year with what they called they called a “Blood Campaign Against Dictatorship” the latest in a series of symbolic shows of resistance to the 10-week-old junta.
Previous demonstrations have featured auspicious numbers, flowers and shoes – all aimed at galvanizing protesters and honoring the more than 700 people killed since the Feb. 1 military coup deposed leader Aung San Su Kyi’s civilian government.
