Sydney will take part in a worldwide mobilisation on Saturday, 13 December 2025, as the Burmese community rallies in support of democracy and the unconditional release of political prisoners in Myanmar. The initiative forms part of the global All in One Piece Movement, led by Kim Aris, the son of detained democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
On the same day, coordinated actions will take place across multiple countries, drawing international attention to the continued imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint, and thousands of others detained since the 2021 military coup. The movement also aims to highlight widespread concerns surrounding the military’s planned election, which many view as illegitimate while elected leaders remain behind bars.
Sydney Rally at Martin Place
The Sydney Burmese community will gather at Martin Place from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, where the event will feature speeches, banners, blue-ribbon symbolism and a strong human-interest focus. Families who have been separated by the conflict, young people raised in Australia, and former political prisoners will share personal stories of resilience, loss and determination.
Spokespeople from the Myanmar diaspora will be available for interviews in both English and Burmese, offering insight into the impact of ongoing political repression and the importance of global solidarity. Organisers emphasise that the movement seeks to unite communities across borders and amplify the voices of those fighting for freedom inside Myanmar.
Objectives of the Global Campaign
The rally is centred around three key objectives:
- Advocating for the unconditional release of all political prisoners, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President U Win Myint.
- Rejecting the military’s planned election as illegitimate while elected leaders remain detained.
- Demonstrating the unity and resolve of Burmese people both inside Myanmar and across the global diaspora.
NSW Humanitarian Award winner Ko Ko Aung, who is helping coordinate the Sydney action, has extended invitations to media organisations to attend and report on the event. He has also offered support in arranging interviews and providing additional background material.
The Sydney gathering represents a powerful contribution to the global movement working to spotlight the human cost of the crisis in Myanmar and strengthen international advocacy for democracy and human rights.
