Myanmar: Media Workers Join Disobedience Movement, Stage Rallies in Government Capital11 February 21
Thirty-six staff and personnel from the Myanmar Press Council, Myanmar Digital News, Daily Mirror and Myanmar Alin daily newspaper staged rallies at approximately 10.30am in front of the state press building on Thein Phyu Road. “We have been participating in the demonstrations against the military seizing power since February 8. Many more are joining us,” said U Ye Khaung Nyunt, an editor from Myanmar’s News and Periodicals Enterprise. “We know what justice and injustice is. We are civil servants and we earn by virtue of the public. We want a democratically elected government. We want to refrain from doing what the public dislikes. We serve the public. This is our determination,’’ he said. - Translated |
