The opposition CNRP on Wednesday held its second and last day of training for party supporters ahead of its mass demonstrations planned for Saturday driving home its message of peace and nonviolence.

Amid persistent and ominous warnings from the government that the demonstrations may turn violent, and a first round of training for party supporters on Sunday that proved difficult to manage, Wednesday’s session was a decidedly tame affair.
