In Myanmar, dozens of farmers have been holding peaceful protests in the heart of Yangon for nearly two months now, trying to get back their land which was seized by the previous military regime. Four years ago, such a protest would never have been tolerated. While some view the government's tolerance of public protests as a sign of reform, others are less convinced.
