Sitting for Freedom

Another type of nonviolent protest in the face of indiscriminate terrorist action: a man sits crosslegged at Baho Road, in San Chaung Township in Yangon, where the nightly assaults have been concentrated for the last several nights.

His sign reads:

"I admire and respect Mahatama Gandhi. For this utterance of truth, may all the people of Myanmar be prosperous and peaceful.

I always try my best to help to those whoever ask for my help. For this utterance of truth, may all the people of Myanmar be prosperous and peaceful."

We are bearing witness to a people crying out for truth and using all the wholesome inclinations of mind to achieve it. We cannot let them be alone in this valiant struggle.
