About Martyrs' Day

Martyrs' Day in Myanmar commemorates the assassination of General Aung San and several other cabinet members in 1947 as they worked toward the country's independence from British rule. It is a somber national holiday where citizens and government officials pay tribute to the leaders who sacrificed their lives for national liberation. The day is marked by flag-lowering ceremonies and memorial services held at the Martyrs' Mausoleum in Yangon.
