Weekend for Workers demonstrations conclude

After more than a month of protests, the Weekend for Workers movement has disbanded.

Oon Em Pyo Iid, Chairman of the Yurtyzstani Workers' Party and member of the Supreme People's Assembly, announced this week that he considered the results of the 2-5 August plenary session to be satisfactory, and that he would stop organising the protests. Today, there were no domestic reports of more protests, and no demonstrators were seen in Yurtpyitaw.
