“According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), India was the third largest supplier of weapons to Myanmar for the years 2017-2021, accounting for 17% of Myanmar’s arms imports after China (36%) and Russia (27%),” Justice For Myanmar stated.
Yadanar Maung, the spokesperson for Justice For Myanmar, says: “We are deeply concerned about Sweden’s apparent ties to the supply of weapons to the Myanmar military, which is intensifying its indiscriminate attacks against the people.”
The JFM called on the Swedish government and its arms control authority, the Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP), to take necessary measures to stop Swedish arms from reaching the hands of the illegal Myanmar military regime that is committing atrocities throughout the country with impunity.

Then, other strike leaders also preached against the military dictatorship.
After that, Burmese dancer Pantra Naing Aung, who is a member of the Kani strike group, entertained the people with dances to revolutionary songs.
