Protesters arrested as per usual

Myanmar students and activists charged over protest clashes


Two weeks ago a protest in Myanmar lead by students and activists protesting a new education bill erupted in violence. This protest is part of a protest march from  Mandalay to Yangon (Rangoon).

As of today sixty-five people have been charged with insulting civil servants and failure to disperse.  
The uproar about this leg of the protest is police brutality. Which shows that not much has changed even though military rule has ended and unauthorized protests are still illegal.
