Group (4) – Workers, especially working in industrial zones
Peaceful protests by factory workers have generally been observed in Shwe Pyi Thar and Hlaing
Tharyar townships in Yangon Region, aiming to resolve conflicts between employers and workers. In
2024, a total of nine protests were recorded, though the actual number on the ground may be higher.
These protests often focused on recurring issues such as wages, leave days, and overtime pay, as well
as demands for action against employers who have physically abused workers.
In Myanmar, where armed conflicts are intensifying, the freedom of assembly and freedom of expression
are gradually being restricted. This erosion of rights is driven by a growing emphasis on military control
and security concerns. The ongoing conflict has exacerbated the suppression of these rights, affecting
the ability of civilians to gather and voice their opinions freely.
The groups supporting federal democracy and the Spring Revolution continue to carry out peaceful
protests in both rural and urban areas despite the Myanmar military's ongoing arrests and suppression.
In major cities like Yangon, Mandalay, and Kale, the SAC have harshly targeted protest leaders and
participants, imprisoning them and using severe tactics to stifle dissent. In contrast, rural protests,
although more difficult to carry out due to conflict and aerial strikes, have found a way to continue voicing
opposition.
Furthermore, collaboration between local revolutionary groups and strike committees has been strong
in some regions, while other areas still face difficulties in coordinating efforts. Notably, in Sagaing
Region, local civilians and strike groups have continued their participation in peaceful protests for over
1,400 days, despite facing dire challenges. This resilience stands out as a significant aspect of the
nonviolent mass movements in Myanmar's Spring Revolution.
The strike committees on the ground have been engaging in various activities alongside protests,
adapting to the changing political and military conditions in Myanmar. These include:
• Community Awareness: In regions where armed conflicts are intensifying, local strike
committees actively participate in civilian protection programs such as community awareness
activities to protect civilians from airstrikes and heavy artillery attacks.
