Supporters of Myanmar's imprisoned ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi commemorated her 79th birthday with flower-themed protests on Wednesday. Despite facing repression from the military government, demonstrators took to the streets in various regions of the country to honor Suu Kyi, who has been detained since February 1, 2021, following the army's seizure of power.
Currently, more than 20,600 individuals are detained for opposing military rule, as reported by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. Pro-democracy street protests were held openly in regions not under military control, with participants carrying banners and images of Suu Kyi.
