  • 15/03/2021

At least five anti-coup protesters were killed across Myanmar on Monday as demonstrators returned to the streets after the deadliest day since the military seized power from civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi.At least 44 protesters were killed Sunday as security forces cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations, taking the toll since the coup to more than 120, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) monitoring group.

Those killed on Monday were shot dead in two locations and witnesses said the junta was again using lethal force against protesters."Two men were killed because of gunshots and six others were injured," a witness in Magway region's Aunglan town told, adding that one of the dead was shot in the chest."He was right beside me. Another one got shot in his head."The country has been in an uproar since the putsch, with daily protests demanding a restoration of democracy despite the junta's increasingly forceful attempts to quell dissent.
