Six labor rights activists, including two union leaders from a factory in Yangon’s Dagon Seikkan Township, were jailed for three months for leading strikes which allegedly violated COVID-19 orders. Since May 2, 2020, more than 100 workers from the Blue Diamond bags factory have blocked the entrance to demand full wages during April, although operations stopped from April 19 to 30 due to government orders. The strike was led by members of the unregistered All Burma Federation of Trade Unions (ABFTU). Factory union leaders Ma Zar Zar Htun and Ma Lay Lay Mar and ABFTU members Ko Kyaw Myo, Ko Myo Gyi, Ko Min Min Naing and Ko Thet Oo Maung were sentenced to three months in prison by the Dagon Seikkan Township Court for violating COVID-19 restrictions under the Prevention and Control of Communicable Diseases Law.
