Myanmar military did not allow Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi to attend the annual ceremoney of Martyr's day. Martyr's day commemorates the assassination of Geneal Aung San (father of Aung San Suu Kyi) and eight other leaders on July 19, 1947 while they were holding a meeting for Myanmar independence from Britain. The ceremony was held at the Martyr's mausoleum near the Shwedagon pagoda in Yangon. Although Aung San Suu Kyi was invited by the ruling military, but in this morning she was rejected to attend and pay respect to her father and other leaders who were assassinated. The policy of Myanmar military government method is now yes, now no.
