Brave nun stands between police and protestors during brutal crackdown in Myanmar06/03/2021|4min
In a moment of breathtaking courage, a Catholic nun has stood between armed police and protesters amid violent clashes in Myanmar.
At least 50 pro-democracy protestors have been killed since the military coup which overthrew Myanmar’s democratically elected government on February 1.
Sister Anna Roza Nu Tawn knelt in front of police and desperately pleaded with the officers not to shoot in what has been described as Myanmar’s “Tiananmen moment”.
“There’s no one to protect Myanmar’s people,” she said.
“People have to defend themselves and help each other as we can’t trust anyone.

The U.S. government s decision to remove the terror designation from the Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis could lead to heightened Christian persecution, according to the head of a prominent international Christian human rights organization.
After the Biden administration removed the Houthi organization, known as Ansar Allah, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations early last month, two Saudi-influenced newspapers reported Yemen’s Houthi militia is threatening Christians with extended detainment.
David Curry, the president of the Christian persecution watchdog organization Open Doors USA, told The Christian Post in a recent interview that removing the terror designation applied by the Trump administration in 2018 is a “mistake” that will only “embolden” Houthi militia.
