The demonstrators held signs with pictures of peace activists and famous writers, including Thakin Kodaw Hmaing and U Thant.
“All the citizens are longing for peace and they want the wars to stop immediately so they are supporting the 21st-century Panglong Conference,” said U Myat Kyaw, the spokesperson for the demonstrators. “We want to show the government, the hluttaw, the Tatmadaw, the ethnic groups and also the international organisations that we support peace.”
The demonstrators also collected signatures from participants and from those in the park who want to support the peace process. More than 360 signatures were collected during the event, which ended at about 11:30am, said Daw Linkar Thit, a volunteer from Tarmwe township. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
