On Feb 20, 2021, the Mynamar police again shot live rounds at civilians who have been protesting against the coup d'etat initiated by the military junta on Feb 1.
According to local media DVB Burmese, the army started shooting at the crowd at 2pm in Mandalay and fired 300 to 400 live rounds. It was reported that at least 2 civilians were killed, among other injuries.
One confirmed victim is a 36-year-old carpenter. He was shot in the chest and died on the way to the hospital. Another victim was shot in the head and died on site. The local officials were, however, unable to confirm the exact number of casualty.
According to sources, the police also deployed water canon truck and tear gas grenades to disperse anti-coup civilians. Protesters were seen severely injured in the head after being hit by the police baton. At least one man was wounded in his eye. On the Internet, the photos of a bullet wounded boy were also circulated.
One week ago, Thwate Thwate Khaing, aged 20, was shot in the head by the riot police. She died in the hospital on Feb 19, 2021, being the first protest fatality in the Myanmar protest against the military coup since early February.
Burmese human rights organization, Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (#AAPP), between February 1 and 18, 2021, the authorities arrested at least 521, including civilians, activists, journalists, writers, monks, student leaders, as well as politicians and officials in the ousted National League for Democracy Party (NLD)-led government. Among them, 477 were still detained or charged.
