YANGON (Eleven Media Group/ANN): In a powerful display of dissent, a series of protests have swept through major cities in Myanmar, denouncing the destruction of Buddha statues and pagodas.
The fervour ignited after a video emerged on January 8, showing a member of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance (MNDAA) smashing a pagoda on Sin Oo Kin Hill in Laukkai, Shan State (North). The footage quickly went viral on social media, galvanizing citizens and many stood up in anger.
