Protesters hurriedly move a bleeding man.

Mintu, twenty-five years old, who was shot in the head by a police gun, died in the end.

Only two months old wife and a young son remain.

Throughout Myanmar, you can easily see corpses scattered on the streets.

The death toll continues to rise.

In the midst of this, the military prosecuted national adviser Aung San Suu Kyi for bribery.

You can face up to 25 years in prison.

The situation is worsening, but Myanmar citizens continue to protest.

[A씨/미얀마 출신 유학생 : (영화) ‘택시운전사’를 보는 것과 똑같은 상황처럼 제가 느껴요. 경찰이나 군인들이 시위대에게 쉽게 가지 못하도록 가로막아 고장 난 것처럼 하기도 합니다.]

The Korean government has also stepped up sanctions.

It has decided not to export military supplies such as tear gas to Myanmar, and it has also decided to stop military exchanges and cooperation.

Myanmarians in Korea have also decided to extend their visas so that they can stay in Korea until the situation stabilizes.
