[15] On 6 July 2019, thousands of protesters marched to a police office in Yangon, demanding speedy and transparent justice in a child-rape case that has sparked national outrage.

[18] On July 14, protests were staged in other major cities such as Magwe, Pathein, Hpa-an, Lashio, and Pakokku in response to the emergence of the Victoria rape case.
