Protesters in Yangon have staged a flash mob protest on a bus in Yangon.

Video filmed on April 28 shows the young protesters inside the moving bus and chanting. Some make the three-fingered salute that originated in the "Hunger Games" film series and that has become a symbol of the protests.

Protests in Myanmar, known locally as the Spring Revolution, began in early 2021 in opposition to the coup d'état on 1 February, staged by Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces.

As of 23 April 2021, at least 745 protesters and bystanders, of which at least 44 were children, have been killed by military or police forces and at least 3,371 people detained.

Protesters mostly employed peaceful and nonviolent forms of protest, which include acts of civil disobedience, labour strikes, a military boycott campaign, a pot-banging movement, a red ribbon campaign, public protests, and formal recognition of the election results by elected representatives.
