A group of police officers who defied the Myanmar army's orders to shoot opponents of the coup recounted their experience after they escaped to India. While speaking, they raised a three-finger salute, a symbol of resistance to Myanmar's military rulers. “We cannot hurt our people, that's why we came to Mizoram,” said one of the men, who hails from the northwestern town of Tedim.
