Myanmar protesters bedaub streets with ‘red paint’ to condemn military bloodshed amid coup
Protesters in Myanmar on Monday started a nationwide ‘Blood Strike' as they sprayed red paints on the roadways and smeared several cities to express solidarity with the victims shot at by Myanmar's ruling military Junta. In an act to honour the fallen 'pro-democracy heroes' that succumbed to the gunshot wounds of the soldiers, civilians daubed bus stations, billboards, and highways with bright red paint in the second populous city of Yangon.
The civil disobedience movement also marked two long months of lethal violence, killings, and bloodshed ensued by the military since it unlawfully seized power by overthrowing the democratically elected government. Some cities witnessed protests with Padauk flowers ahead of Myanmar’s upcoming new year. Since 1 Feb 2021, 550 civilians have been killed due to gunshot, including 46 children, as per rights group Save The Children’s tally.
