The photos of yesterday's massive crowds are breathtaking. Millions marched despite the junta's "loss of life" threats. The generals are losing their power to intimidate and with it, their power. It is past time for them to stand down, as the people of Myanmar stand up. 📹@RFA
How many of us can imagine starting our day by writing our blood type on our arm? That's what protesters across Myanmar did on Monday. Why? Because the junta had threatened them. They weren't intimidated. They were prepared. And that's why they, and their courage, will prevail.
Deeply concerned w an ominous public warning by the junta that protesters are "inciting the people" to "a confrontation path where they will suffer the loss of life". Warning to the junta: Unlike 1988, actions by security forces are being recorded & you will be held accountable.
