The Millenium Revolution (Brillian: Milurteko Iraulca, Iparinan: Milleniumi forradalom) were a series of anti-government protests sparked by the death of Marin Juhász, a 16-year old student. The protests took place in Martirien Herria, the largest city of Brilliania and the political centre of the nation.

Death of Marin Juhász

On 25 August 1999, 16-year old student Marin Juhász took part in a strike of students to protest against the Ecsebarrea government's measures against secular education. During the protests, a plain-clothes officer threw a rock against an Ercainca member, causing the Ercainca to react with excessive force. The chaos caused by the false attack caused a rampage by Ercainca officers, including riot officer Csaran Minteguiaga to fire his service pistol out of control, causing the death of Marin Juhász and several more wonded. First aid was provided at the scene but Marin and three others died of their wounds.

First protest

The initial protest took place at 17 December 1999, which was also the 17th birthday of Marin Juhász. It was organised by the civil association "Hil Zuten Marin" (They Killed Marin), led by Marin's father Tamás Juhász. The protestors demanded the sentencing of Csaran Minteguiaga and the resignation of the government. At its peak, 500,000 protesters participated and several opposition political parties voiced their support to the protesters.
