PROTESTORS IN MYANMAR BORROW THREE-FINGER SALUTES FROM 'HUNGER GAMES'

  • 07/02/2021

Showing their defiance to the leaders of a military coup and supporting the overthrown political leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a group of Yangon medics in Myanmar raised the three-finger salutes wearing face masks and red ribbons on their protective gowns.With banners reading "we support civil disobedience movement", healthcare workers at a coronavirus treatment centre also protested in a similar way.Although it has been used in several protests all over the world, the three-finger raised salute with the palm kept away from the body has been borrowed from the 'Hunger Games' movies. It was popularised by the character Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence.
