OU students will gather to protest the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar at 3 p.m. April 17 at the Oklahoma State Capitol.Â
The crisis began Feb. 1 when the Tatmadaw, or military, of Myanmar staged a coup against the National League for Democracy, despite the party winning the election convincingly. The Tatmadaw detained leaders of the ruling NLD party, censored the press, shut down the internet, closed banks, cut off global communication and announced a state of emergency, according to the BBC.
Don Nuam, a psychology senior from Myanmar, wrote in an email to The Daily that peaceful protestors in the country have been met with coordinated attacks by the Tatmadaw since April 15. Over 700 civilians have been killed, and about 3,000 have been detained by the police forces.Â
