3 Letpadaung Taung copper mine protestors suing "President" Thein Sein for pre-dawn attack with white phosphorus -

Informal summary and translation:

Slogan - "We meet Thein Sein with shwe pan"  -- shwe pan="gold flower"=male genitals.

Man with the guitar - famous singer Mun Awng - "This is the same general who imprisoned democracy activists, now spouting 'democracy' and going around visiting."

Congrats Norway-based activists - you speak the Truth.
