Dozens of protesters protesting the military coup in Myanmar were also killed by indiscriminate bullets from the military and police. As the military commemorating ‘Myanmar Army Day’ celebrate a coup through large-scale military enthusiasm, the military has stepped up to show off. The military emphasized that “terrorism” that damages national stability is unacceptable, and the protesters’ sacrifices against the coup are expected to increase in the future.
According to local media in Myanmar, large-scale demonstrations were held across the country, including Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, criticizing the military coup. In commemoration of the day when the Japanese occupation of Myanmar started armed resistance in 1945, the name “Resistance Day”, which was originally used, resonates in place of the current “Myanmar Army Day” of the military. The local Irrawaddy media reported that in addition to the ‘day of resistance’, the slogan ‘day of the anti-military dictatorship’ was also used.
Myanmar forces responded by firing indiscriminately at protesters against the coup. Irrawaddy said eight people were killed and at least 18 wounded before 3 am the day before when shooting at a protester outside Yangon demanding the release of two women detained the day before. Myan Manau reported that at least 10 people were killed in Mandalay provinces, including the second cities of Mandalay, Undung and Maketilla on the afternoon of that day. Reuters reported that one or more people died in the Insein area of Yangon, and there were local media reports that four people died in the eastern Lassio area and the Bago area, respectively.
In an online forum, the UN envoy, appointed by the “Representative Committee of the Federal Assembly (CRPH)”, acting as a provisional government against the bloody repression of the military and police, criticized it as “a day of shame for the military “. “Military generals are celebrating Myanmar Army Day after killing more than 300 innocent citizens,” said a special envoy. According to statistics from the Myanmar Human Rights Organization’s Political Offender Support Association (AAPP), as of the previous day, 328 people were confirmed to have been victims of military and police violence, such as shootings.
Meanwhile, in commemoration of 76 ‘Myanmar Army Day’ on this day, the military mobilized a large number of soldiers and weapons to hold a military parade. Supreme Commander Min Aung Hlaing warned in a television address before the byeongsik fever that “violent acts that damage stability and security are inappropriate and unacceptable.” In addition, he repeatedly expressed his intention to hold general elections after the emergency, but did not specifically say when.
