Yangon ‘peace walk’ leaders charged for illegal assembly
Student leaders who led an interfaith “peace walk” of almost 100 people in downtown of Yangon on 14 May are to be charged under Article 19 of the Peaceful Assembly and Procession Law. The participants of the peace walk, many of whom were drawn from the Yangon School of Political Science, observed a minute’s quiet contemplation in the buildings of four different religions, as a means of paying respect. They held placards reading: “Accept Diversity, Promote Tolerance” and “We All are Human.”
