Anniversary of the Rangoon University massacre: Veteran Journalist recounts the events
Rangoon University, Anniversary, Massacre, Veteran Journalist

This month back in 1962 students at Rangoon University staged a peaceful demonstration to protest the poor education standards and unfair university regulations imposed by the then president.

The protest was violently suppressed by the newly installed military junta, resulting in the deaths of more than 100 students.

The next day the army blew up the Students Union building, where students were taking refugee—killing. The day would go down in history as the 7th of July Student's massacre.
