Including Children, sadly.
[At least 106 people have been killed across Myanmar after security forces opened fire on protesters, according to local media reports. The deadly tally is said to include 13 in the country's second-biggest city, Mandalay, nine in the nearby region of Sagaing and seven in the commercial capital Yangon. A five-year-old is reported to be among those killed. The shootings came as people took to the streets again to protest against the 1 February coup, in defiance of a warning that they could be shot "in the head and back", as the junta celebrated Armed Forces Day.] [Monitors have cautioned this only includes verified cases, with the actual number of casualties "likely much higher". In a statement, the USA ambassador to Myanmar Thomas Vajda said: "On Myanmar's Armed Forced Day, security forces are murdering unarmed civilians, including children, the very people they swore to protect. "This bloodshed is horrifying. These are not the actions of a professional military or police force." Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the killings mark "a new low".] Its just getting worse every day. https://news.sky.com/story/myanmar-a...ports-12258013 Last edited by arista; 27-12-2021 at 03:06 PM. |
