The young refusing to become Myanmar’s ‘human shields’
With the ongoing unrest and violence in Myanmar following the military coup, there has been a disturbing trend of young people being used as ‘human shields’. The military junta has been forcing young people to stand in front of them during protests, using them as a shield to protect themselves from the public’s anger.
However, many young people in Myanmar are refusing to be used in this way. They are standing up against the injustice and refusing to become pawns in the military’s brutal tactics. These brave individuals are risking their lives to fight for democracy and freedom in their country.
It is truly inspiring to see the courage and determination of the youth in Myanmar. Despite the risks and dangers they face, they continue to protest peacefully and demand for a return to democracy. Their bravery serves as a symbol of hope for the future of Myanmar.
As the international community watches and condemns the military’s actions, it is important to support and stand in solidarity with the young people of Myanmar. They are the future of the country and their voices must be heard.
