Artists ‘Raise Three Fingers’ In Support Of Myanmar Protesters
In this picture, fans are holding up 3 fingers in 2011 Daytona 500 in honor for American professional stock car driver Dale Earnhardt. Artists around the world are using the same raised three finger symbolism to back protestors in Myanmar

This interesting development is reported by Mong Palatino in Global Voices:

A campaign named “Raise Three Fingers” has been mobilizing artists around the world to show support for Myanmar’s anti-coup protesters.

Myanmar’s armed forces grabbed power on February 1 but this is being fiercely resisted by citizens who want to pursue the country’s democratic transition. Cartoonists, poets, and other artists are among those who have braved the streets to defy the junta.

Protesters have been using the three-finger salute as a symbol of resistance. This was taken from the Hollywood film Hunger Games which was also adopted by pro-democracy protesters in Thailand.
