Ne Win Attacks Rangoon University Student Union

July 8th, 1962 62 years ago

Ne Win's government besieged and destroyed the Rangoon University Student Union building in an effort to suppress student protests against military rule. The siege was a decisive action to dismantle the student movement that had gained significant momentum due to demands for democracy and civil rights in Burma. This suppression marked a significant turning point in the political landscape of the country and set the stage for ongoing conflicts between the military and pro-democracy activists.
