Five student leaders in Yangon have been charged with conducting an illegal protest against the 2008 State Constitution VOA reported on 1 July.
Dozens of students in Yangon staged a march on Monday against military representatives in parliament who have been appointed by the military commander-in-chief.
According to a new regulation, any protest requires permission from local officials, which the students did not seek before conducting their march. 
Although charged by police, none of the student activists has yet been arrested for Monday's march.
