The Myanmar people are not just numbers. On 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military conducted a coup d'état against the democratically elected government led by the National League for Democracy. Shortly after the coup, Myanmar citizens started organizing against the military takeover and to date over 1,500 Myanmar citizens have been killed since the military regime came to power. Join us as we talk with Esther Ze Naw, a Myanmar human rights activist and co-organizer of one of the largest anti-military protests after the coup. For her work on human and ethnic minority rights she was included in Time’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
