Protesters Decorate Easter Eggs in Coup-Hit Myanmar – By Agence France Presse (Military.com) / April 4 2021
Anti-coup demonstrators in Myanmar decorated boiled eggs on Easter Sunday in the latest protest against the country’s military junta.
Myanmar has been gripped by turmoil since a February 1 coup ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Security forces have sought to quell a mass uprising with lethal force, with the death toll reaching 557 as of Saturday, according to local monitoring group Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).
To coincide with Easter Sunday, scores of Myanmar protesters decorated eggs with political messages and left them on neighbor’s doorsteps and hanging in bags on front gates.
Pictures posted on social media showed eggs adorned with Suu Kyi’s likeness and three-finger salutes — a symbol of the resistance — while others said “save our people” and “democracy.”
