Protesters hold placards and blue flags during the demonstration demanding peace following the recent clashes at northern Myanmar, in Yangon, Myanmar, on Saturday. Zayya Lwin, 27, is one of 17 organisers of the anti-war protest which on Saturday degenerated into scuffles and fistfights, raising fresh concerns about freedom of speech in the neighbouring nation. Zayya Lwin and seven other detained activists were released from arrest on Sunday. They came later, and told me they will charge me under section 19, but didn't give a reason why," said Zayya Lwin. "They asked me to come along to the police station, but I refused and told them to send me an official letter laying out the charges," Zayya Lwin told Reuters by phone.
