Myanmar s deadliest day since military coup leaves at least 18 protesters dead

Text Size: A+ Myanmar saw its deadliest day since the Feb. 1 coup, with the United Nations saying at least 18 protesters were killed in a stark escalation of violence to quell persistent demonstrations against military rule. The deaths came after soldiers and police officers fired live ammunition into crowds in six cities across Myanmar, which also left more than 30 people wounded, UN Human Rights Office Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said in a statement on Sunday. Myanmar’s government said 12 people died. “We strongly condemn the escalating violence against protests in Myanmar and call on the military to immediately halt the use of force against peaceful protesters,” Shamdasani said.

G7 Nations Condemn Myanmar Coup as Some Detained Protesters Are Released

RFA The Group of Seven industrial democracies on Tuesday condemned the Myanmar military regime’s use of violence against protesters rejecting the coup that deposed the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi more than three weeks ago, while the U.S. slapped sanctions on two junta generals. As protests against the Feb. 1 military takeover continued to fill the streets of Myanmar cities, the G7 foreign ministers and the European Union’s top envoy said the military and the police must exercise restraint and respect human rights and international law. “We condemn the intimidation and oppression of those opposing the coup,” said the G7 and the EU’s high representative in a joint statement. “We raise our concern at the crackdown on freedom of expression, including through the internet blackout and draconian changes to the law that repress free speech.”
