The Myanmar junta destroyed a Yangon street market on 26 November, following a surprise anti-junta demonstration by a flash mob at the market the day before.

A flash mob of students and other activists wearing face masks gathered at 40th Market in North Dagon Township on the morning of 25 November. They lined the market making the Hunger Games three-finger revolutionary salutes whilst student activist Ko Nanlin made an impassioned speech through a megaphone to the protesters, stallholders and passers-by.

He talked about the progress of the Spring Revolution and said that although the military is suppressing the people it is crumbling and damaged due to the revolution He also called on Tatmadaw (Myanmar army) soldiers to leave the army and join the revolutionaries.

Ye Nyi Htet, one of the activists involved in the protest, said: “The purpose of the strike is firstly; to inform the public about the current situation of our Spring Revolution, and secondly; to convey a message, on behalf of the people, to the military personnel under Min Aung Hlaing's leadership who have not yet joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM).”

Following the demonstration junta soldiers arrived at the market in a vehicle and inspections were carried out at all the roadblocks in the area.

The next day, according to reports, junta soldiers came and destroyed the market.
