Enforcement of the death penalty: In Myanmar, the hardliners prevail – Myanmar

A map of Myanmar was emblazoned on the rapper’s back, with a microphone pierced in the middle. Phyo Zeya Thaw got the tattoo because it represented his most urgent wish: to speak for the people of Myanmar. The Burmese was already in prison in 2008 for demonstrating against the military junta during the saffron revolution. With the democratic opening of the country that soon followed, he was released, became a politician and was a member of the parliament of a new Myanmar until 2020, which nourished so many hopes worldwide and in the country itself.
