Students, teachers join growing civil resistance to coup
Thousands of university and school teachers, students, doctors and nurses across Myanmar have taken part in civil disobedience actions against Myanmar’s military government after this week’s military coup in the country.
President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and newly elected members of parliament were unlawfully detained by the Myanmar military government this week.
Hundreds of doctors and medical staff joined the civil disobedience movement, refusing to go to hospitals. They said they hoped civilians would understand their actions.
Reports said some 200 teachers and students from Dagon University staged a rally on Friday, where they displayed the three-finger ‘Hunger Games’ salute used by Thailand’s protesters in the past year.
