Reuters - Protesters in Yangon carried out a "red paint strike" on Tuesday (April 6) morning as part of the ongoing challenge to the military coup and crackdown in the country.
They tossed red paint into the streets and near areas where protesters have died, with the paint representing the deceased's' blood. One protester said he hoped to keep motivating others to keep up the demonstration. The red paint strike comes following other campaigns involving flowers and eggs.
Despite the killing of at least 564 people by the security forces since the Feb. 1 coup, protesters have come out across the country every day to voice opposition to the overthrow of the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi and the return of military rule.
The movement, which some protesters are calling a "spring revolution," has included street marches, a civil disobedience campaign of strikes, and quirky acts of rebellion organized via social media.
