Supporters of Myanmar’s Suu Kyi stage peaceful protest on her 79th birthday

Pro-democracy street protests in Suu Kyi’s honor were held openly in various regions of Myanmar, with demonstrators carrying her picture and banners with messages of support. Nonviolent protests, including a flower strike, continue to gain traction both online and on the ground. Suu Kyi's son, Kim Aris, urged supporters to celebrate her birthday by contributing to humanitarian aid campaigns, as she remains detained by the military. Calls for the release of all political prisoners, including Suu Kyi, have been made by her party and various Western embassies. The ongoing struggle for democracy in Myanmar persists despite oppressive military rule, with activists showing unwavering determination in their fight for freedom.
