Guwahati: Even though the brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Burma (Myanmar) by the military junta continues since the 1 February 2021 coup that abolished a democratically elected government in NayPieTaw virtually led by Nobel peace laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the common people now start using humour to challenge the military including its chief Min Aung Hlaing.
The activists have asked the Burmese nationals to use different ways to undermine the military authority including the use of toilet papers where the photograph of military commander-in-chief general Hlaing is printed. A large section of people in Myanmar was angry with him as the military head used to torture locals whenever he found opportunities.
Soon after the coup, Hlaing blocked the Wikipedia website as many people kept changing the page narrating him as a joker. Some protesters even glued his pictures to the street so that the armed force personnel hesitate to run over it while chasing the protesters. Lately, the intelligent protesters prepared the toilet paper with Hlaing’s photograph.
Now Burma Campaign UK has marketed the products with an aim to demoralise the junta and it would be a humiliation to the generals. The activist group also added that it is getting a percentage of every sale of Min Aung Hlaing toilet paper which, according to Mark Farmaner, would be sued for their relentless campaigns.
