Hundreds of local people from KhinU Township in Sagaing Region staged a mass protest against the court's trial on February 24.
On February 7, 13 people from the school board of trustees were fined Ks10,000 each by the township court for attempting to move the primary school building without getting the green light from the Education Ministry.
“A lawsuit was filed in court against those who donated a plot of land for the school. I would like to say that the court’s decision may lead to a dysfunctional judicial system,” said U Thein, a local from Madaunggyi village.
The Education Ministry did not get involved in the lawsuit against them with both sides not satisfied with the court’s verdict.
The mass rally was held after obtaining official permit from the authorities.
