A group of activists, who set off on a peace march from central Burma weeks ago, arrived at the former headquarters of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in Laiza on Wednesday afternoon.

More than 50 activists from Mandalay division’s Myingyan township were greeted by hundreds of local residents.

Earlier in the week, the Burmese army briefly stopped the marchers and warned them against proceeding towards Laiza due to the presence of landmines.
