Myanmar Soldiers Swarm Unarmed Protestor and Open Fire
Published 3 years ago
A video out of Myanmar shows soldiers hunting down an unarmed pro-democracy protestor, before opening fire with shotguns at close range.
If this wasn't Myanmar, I would assume that they were firing rubber bullets, which is possible, but just yesterday 11 protestors were killed by the military bringing to the total dead to over 600.
Yesterday protesters armed with homemade guns, knives and firebombs fought back against the troops in the town of Taze and more soldiers were brought in, the Myanmar Now and Irrawaddy news outlets said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States would "keep increasing pressure on the regime's revenue streams until it ceases its violence, releases all those unjustly detained, lifts martial law and the nationwide state of emergency, removes telecommunications restrictions, and restores Burma to the path of democracy."
