“Recent photo of Buddhist monks protesting on the streets”
What FACTLY found
The photo is not a recent one, it’s from 2007. The photo is from a protest by Buddhist monks who were marching in Yangon on 24 September 2007, against the military rule in Myanmar. In early 2021, there were few protests by Buddhist monks in Myanmar against the army coup, but the photo is not related to these recent protests
