Following the
2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Mya Hnin Yee Lwin was active in the anti-coup movement both in person at rallies and through social media. Denouncing the military coup, she has taken part in protests since February. She joined the "We Want Justice"
three-finger salute movement. The movement was launched on social media, and many celebrities have joined the movement. On 6 April 2021, warrants for her arrest were issued under section 505 (a) of the
Myanmar Penal Code by the
State Administration Council for speaking out against the military coup. Along with several other celebrities, she was charged with calling for participation in the
Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) and damaging the state's ability to govern, with supporting the
Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, and with generally inciting the people to disturb the peace and stability of the nation. Some have noted her resemblance to the national leader
Aung San Suu Kyi. A photographer once asked her to model for a photoshoot dressed like Aung San Suu Kyi. During a protest, she encouraged women to wear national costumes and adorn their hair with flowers, similar to Aung San Suu Kyi. She has fled from Yangon and sought refuge in a rebel-controlled "liberated" area, where she has vowed to continue her fight against the junta. She later joined the armed resistance. In December 2023, she promoted a campaign called "Project Life Saving", which helped purchase military equipment supplied to anti-junta forces in the Sittaung River basin in the eastern part of
Bago. ==Selected filmography==
