In Myanmar, at least 114 people were killed in 40 cities on Saturday in suppressing protests against a military coup, Myanmar Now reports. Among the dead is a 13-year-old girl.
Human rights groups report that in the days leading up to the protests that began after Myanmar’s military seizure of power on February 1, 328 people were killed.
On March 27, Myanmar celebrated the anniversary of the formation of the armed forces. The protesters against the military government turned it into a “day against the military dictatorship” and organized protests across the country.
Armed Forces Day in Myanmar was celebrated 76 times. The holiday is scheduled for the day of the beginning of Myanmar’s military resistance against Japanese militarism in 1945.
Recall that Myanmar’s armed forces seized power in the country on February 1, arresting civilian leaders, including Myanmar President Vin Myint and the State Councilor, the country’s de facto Prime Minister and leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. .
The military felt there was a massive forgery in the elections they lost last fall. The official motive for the coup is the refusal of the civil authorities to investigate the alleged fraud.
Previously, Korrespondent.net reported that at least 20 children died during the protests. The youngest known victim was seven years old when the police shot and killed her in her own home.
