Myanmar Protest Update: Silent Strike, Rohingya Plight

In a shift in tactics, protestors in Myanmar decided to go on a “silent strike” this past Wednesday, as opposed to taking to the streets. This is of course part of the civil disobedience movement to pushback against the military dictatorship. We discuss the silent strike and other developments surrounding the military coup, with a Rohingya activist.
