What is the three-finger salute?


Since the start of February, protesters in Myanmar have been pictured making a three-finger gesture as a symbol of opposition to the country’s recent coup d’état. They’ve taken to the streets to protest against what they see as an attack on democracy. Well it might look like a scout salute but it actually comes from the Hunger Games series of books and films.


So why are the protesters using the three-finger salute? Are you saying we can compare what’s going on in Myanmar to Hunger Games? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
