_ reported by Salai Kyaw Kyaw
Chin-ethnic pro-democracy student activist Ko Tin Maung Oo was the first student leader who was hanged by the military regime(s) in Burma. Ko Tin Maung Oo led two student demonstrations: U Thant Funeral in 1974 December 5 and 1975 June strike known as Shwe dagon Strike, which started on June 6th.
He was an extraordinary leader who was known as “Big Lion”. Like KO Tin Maung Oo, genaration to generation, thousands of unknown heroes sacrifice their lives for democracy and human rights in Burma.
Their bloods are not dry yet.
It is utmost essential to remember the fallen heroes of human rights and keep up the aspitations to establish democratic system in Burma.

We must strongly oppose any dictatorship system and any military hierachy.
Which has led to destroy the lives of Burmese people.
Welcome to all the new generation of Burmese to oppose this regime.
