When we see images of the Civil Disobedience Movement in Myanmar, we see the spectacular protests of hundreds of thousands of people pouring out into the streets of towns across the country. But we often forget that each person there, every person carrying a banner, every student giving the three-finger salute, every teenager singing a song for democracy has his or her own story of individual courage.
Every protestor knows the dangers he or she face. They have seen their friends being shot and killed. Every day people are arrested and tortured and yet knowing that arrest, torture and detention is a real possibility, they choose to fight for democracy in a country that has seen military rule of the most brutal kind in history of humankind.
