Commemorative ceremonies have been held across the country to mark the 54th anniversary of the July 7, 1962, student massacre at the hands of the military.
Such ceremonies were banned in the past. Former and present student leaders and MPs attended.
A ceremony was held on the lawn of the student union building on Adipati Road at Yangon University.
The ceremony led by the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) displayed wreaths and flags.
No police were present. Previous governments had prohibited previous ceremonies. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
