At least one person was killed this Saturday by police shooting in Mandalay, Burma's second city, during
a protest
against the military junta that seized power in a coup on February 1, which
now amounts to two the number of fatalities
from the repression since the riot.
According to witnesses, the new deceased was hit in the head, and his body lay on the ground, inert.
This is a young man who came to support striking shipyard workers for joining the protest movement and whom the authorities wanted to force to work.
Other
six results also injured in the incidents.
Witnesses told Efe that the police repressed the protest using
live ammunition and rubber bullets, tear gas bombs
and also threw metal projectiles made with screws with slingshots.
The country was still shocked by the death of Mya Thwe Thwe Khine, a 20-year-old participant in the civil disobedience movement who was killed by a live ammunition shot by the Police, according to reports from various human rights groups.
The protesters today paid tribute to the victim with flowers at various points in Rangoon and painted a message on one of the main arteries calling for democracy and
the release of political leaders
to challenge the military's takeover.
The image of the young woman, who died on the night of Thursday to Friday after spending
10 days in critical condition
due to the shot she received, has become a symbol of the civil disobedience movement. The streets of the country have been filled these days with
the Massive protests against the military uprising
and security forces have sometimes responded with water cannons, rubber balls, and even live ammunition.
The military junta has also tried to quell the civil disobedience movement, which includes strikes in the administration and other sectors, with
the deployment of soldiers in the streets, daily internet blackouts
and various laws that have undermined the rights of citizens.
The Army justified the seizure of power by
alleged electoral fraud
in the elections last November in which the National League for Democracy, the party led by Suu Kyi, swept away, as it did in 2015.
