Protesters in Myanmar risk their futures for democracy

from In-depth News Features | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News · host NHK WORLD-JAPAN

The military regime in Myanmar is turning to increasingly brutal tactics to suppress opposition. In July, it executed four people and started ramping up attacks on urban areas. This has spurred many young people to take up arms and fight back, while others have chosen to leave the country. But some remain committed to non-violent protest. NHK World spoke to an 18-year-old activist about the difficulties of staying true to pacifism while facing a relentless opponent.
