MYANMAR MARTYRS’ DAY

Martyrs’ Mausoleum in Yangon

Martyrs’ Day (Burmese: အာဇာနည်နေ့ [ʔàzànì nḛ]) is a national holiday observed on 19 July to commemorate Gen. Aung San and seven other leaders of the pre-independence interim government, and one bodyguard —Thakin Mya, Ba Cho, Abdul Razak, Ba Win, Mahn Ba Khaing, Sao San Tun, Ohn Maung and Ko Htwe—all of whom were assassinated on July 19, 1947.

It is customary for high-ranking government officials to visit the Martyrs’ Mausoleum in Yangon in the morning of that day to pay respects.
