The terrible crimes against humanity committed by the army and police in Myanmar continue day after day.
The day after the worst bloodshed on the 27th (local time), when at least 114 innocent citizens, including children, including 5-year-old babies, were killed by indiscriminate shooting, military and police brutality and unfortunate sacrifices continued.
Consequently, the number of civilians killed was estimated to have exceeded 450 after the outbreak of the coup.
Local media such as Myanmar Now and Irrawaddy reported on the 28th that a villager was burned to death after being wounded in a shooting in Mandalay, the second city.
According to Now in Myanmar, the military police raided Aungmyatajan-gu at 9 pm the night before. In the process, Ai Ko, a 40-year-old resident, was shot and injured.
Military police arrested him and threw him on a burning scrap tire.
These waste tires were installed by residents to prevent the entry of military and police.
A resident who witnessed the scene told the media: “After being thrown into the flames, he was yelling ‘Let’s save my mother.’
Media reported that despite the man’s appeal, police continued to shoot and residents were unable to leave the house to rescue him.
Irrawaddy said the man was one of the town’s watchmen.
A member of the village watchman said that before the Aiko incident, unidentified men entered the residential area and set fire to barricades made of scrap tires, and then the military police entered and began shooting.
Ai Ko left the house to turn off this light and was shot and injured. He has four children, the media reported.
In the Mongyuwa area of central Sagaing province, Irrawaddy reported that a 20-year-old nurse who was treating protesters who were shot and injured was killed by military police shooting.
In this area, another man was also killed by military and police gunfire, the media reported.
Myanmar Now reported that a 24-year-old woman died and two were injured in Mingjan.
The media also reported that the army and police fired firearms at citizens gathered at a funeral in the Bago area near Yangon this morning.
Today’s funeral was a tribute to a 20-year-old student who was killed by a bullet fired by a military policeman the day before.
Irrawaddy said military police tried to arrest fleeing funeral attendees.
A participant at the funeral said: “I was singing popular songs in honor of the students. As soon as the security forces arrived, they shot at us and people ran away.”
The media also reported that in Hlaing-gu in Yangon, the largest city, on the same day, at least two people were injured when military police threw grenades and fired firearms.
According to witnesses, the military police took the train, got off the train and shot, the media reported.
In addition, nine civilians were killed by military police in Taungji in central Shan State and Michina in northern Kachin State, four of whom were women, according to the Political Offender Support Association of the Human Rights Organization of Myanmar (AAPP).
According to the AAPP, the number of civilians confirmed as shot dead by the military police until that day after the military coup on 1 last month was counted as at least 459.
However, there are many cases where the body is abandoned or stolen, or life or death is unknown after it has disappeared, so the actual number of deaths is likely to be much higher.
