A young woman has become the first protester to die in the anti-coup demonstrations in Myanmar after she was shot in the head last week.
Mya Thwe Thwe Khaing was injured two days before her 20th birthday when police tried to disperse protesters.
Her wound was consistent with one from live ammunition, rights groups said.
An image of the protester being cradled after she was shot was widely shared, and her death has triggered further anger against the authorities.
