Dr. Tay Zar San, the leader of the mass strike that the military commission desperately wants, and two other leaders staged a protest early this morning at the crowded market in Mandalay, after handing out leaflets. They quickly called for the silent strike to be held on December 10 to oppose the military commission’s sham election.
Dr. Tay Zar San is a well-known protest leader who has previously protested in Mandalay. His courage to protest in a city like Mandalay, which is under the full control of the military commission, is admirable.
