The protest took place near Saing Taung village, on the outskirts of Hpakant.
Local residents said the demonstration was held despite heavy security risks, as clashes have been ongoing in nearby areas since January 31, and junta forces based in the town have been firing artillery into surrounding areas.
During the protest, demonstrators held banners and chanted slogans including:
• “No to the Myitsone Dam Project”
• “Stop the Myitsone Project Immediately”
• “Hpakant is still resisting”
• “The people come first — no dictatorship”
• “No to the military coup”
• “Let’s unite to overthrow the terrorist military”
• “Join together to win the Spring Revolution”
• “Reject Min Aung Hlaing’s illegal election backed by the Chinese government”
The protest highlighted continued public resistance to military rule, even under dangerous conditions.
