As thousands of protesters in Myanmar continue to demonstrate against the military coup, one hand gesture has emerged as the movement’s defining symbol – the three-fingered salute.
Originally seen in The Hunger Games films and books, the salute has been adopted widely in Thailand as well in activists’ protests against their military government.
But what does the gesture really mean, and what does its journey from the big screen to real life tell us about the power of protest symbols?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
The world really has gone to shit. GTA seems real now.

Imagine ppl doing "Shinzo wo SASAGEYOO" salute when this escalates into warfare
Here we go again. Can the British mind their own country
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar For us, it's a democracy, freedom and justice symbol
Two too many fingers.
What about British brutally against humanity
I would like to give a two fingered salute to the BBC.
"If we burn, you burn with us!"
lack of originality thats why…
The only people that support justice is the thieving lying Democrats greats political party to date. Thank god for Trump opening so many eyes.
Its a mudra. Its not from the movies. That's how ignorant the BBC and its "advisors" really are.
Syu kyi had no problem defending the military when they were carrying out a genocide there though. Didn’t see an uproar in the country when the Rohingya were being butchered, just silence from the majority. What hypocrisy, Myanmar.
BBC, you guys need to ask Boris or Raab or whoever suppose to be in-charge of the education system that there are currently an over production in the field of political science, journalism, Lawyers, etc. Please reduce enrollment for this sort of degrees but expand in-take of STEM ones.. the Government need to be aware of what is required for future needs cause they are in charge and being able to get UK ahead of the rest requires some ENGINEERING of what people study OK? Please plan for the future and not allow parents to waste their hard earned money if after graduation the only job available for their kids are becoming Activist and Journalist. TQ 😘
Oops. Also take note, the future is all about Safe City! 😂 Fully secured and monitored with CCTV because Cops need to upgrade their hardware and also wish to avoid wrongful arrest of none guilty party. US should consider because always grabbing wrong black guy and ask people to choose which black Guy. I suggest either get CCTV (make sure it works) or next time instead of asking the victim to point which black person did what, give the victim a pencil and art board to draw out what the accuse look like. It's safer and won't wrongly jail people.
Indians are gonna use it Sooner or Later.
BBC loves preaching their Double Standards.
If you truly believe you stand for freedom, then you should be standing against the Warmonger USA.
That's how many sausage rolls I've got left atm, – 3.
at least they can go outside – not like in dirty Nazi Britain
Um maybe it’s simply because that’s how life seems to be right now?
It is also the girl guide salute!
I support Freedom for all people in Myanmar and fight today or die tomorrow when China control.
It's from HongKong isn't it?
Not only Thailand and Myanmar. It also appears in HongKong.
If the West didn't do anything when the army was committing genocide of Rohing, they will surely not do anything now.
I stand with the people of Myanmar!! Freedom Democracy Liberty
That salute is used by Brownies and Guiding so nothing new….
As far as I remember, I was introduced to this symbol as a three finger salute when I was a Scout
Isn't that the boy scout salute? Who cares about the hunger games?
Looks like the fake white supremacist "secret signal" to me! OMG!
Nice to see the people of South-East Asia standing up for what is right while America disintegrates into insanity and communist oppression.
Note: While all this happens the CCP continue to slaughter and r@pe Uyghurs and we stand by and do nothing at all.
I don't know what's the big deal. They just want a few'0000 bodies to sell for organ trade. Just give it to them. Dont fuss.
We must have support to myanmar its a right time .
That’s the webelos Boy Scout salute
There's a huge transformation in world order which is beyond the capacity to be perceived…
The USA/England are the evil Capital
Independence is about sacrifice and blood
Asia often lacks originality, always copying, a shitty movie in this case.
That is stupid, you take something out from a movie which is fake to stand up for your freedom, so your freedom will be fake us well.
That has been the Girl Guides salute for many many decades.
He is bs. the origin is not hunger games. Everyone knows that.
BBC do something to help Myanmar civilians
