In Myanmar, the t-shirt phrase worn by a 19-year-old girl who was shot and killed amid another massive bloodshed in Myanmar was being shared through social network services (SNS), causing a big repercussion.
According to AFP news agency on the 4th (local time), an Angel (myanmar name Kyle Shin) wearing a T-shirt with the words “Everything will be fine” was shot in the head of a gun shot by the military at the protesters against the coup in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second city. Died.
According to Mayat Tou, 23, who was with her at the protest scene, Angel was at the forefront of trying to protect his colleagues by shouting “Sit! Bullets flying” to the people just before the police fired.
Angel was then brave by kicking water pipes so that the demonstrators could wash their eyes from the tear gas shot by the military, and throwing the tear gas back to the police.
After her death, protesters posted the wording of the T-shirt she wore on social media, which quickly spread among people.
Angel, who was a Taekwondo champion and dancer, was impressed by leaving her blood information, contact information, and body donation request on Facebook as if he had already anticipated this before he died.
Angel, who took pride in saying, “I have done my duty for my country,” during the first election on November 8 last year, fought for democracy by attending protests after the military coup on the 1st of last month.
“As the protests continued, the military started shooting and a girl died,” said Mayat Tu. “At first, I didn’t know she was, but soon a photo of her lying next to another victim was posted on Facebook.”
The military did not leave any comment on Angel’s death. However, the military said that one policeman was killed in the situation of suppressing the protesters, and announced that “we will act against the violent protesters.”
Meanwhile, Christine Schrenner Bernager, the UN envoy to Myanmar, said at a press conference on the day that “38 people died today alone.”
