The suppression of the military in Myanmar is becoming more and more brutal. They are striking people in anti-coup protests with chains, and police are instructed to “shoot until death.”

Dozens have been arrested.
A young man protesting with his bare hands was dragged into the car by the police.
After a few hours, it was released, and the red lines on the back and buttocks were clearly visible.
The same marks can be seen on the body of a teenage boy.
Photographs of the damaged body are being posted on social media.
Citizens of Myanmar said it was “a mark that was struck by the police in chains.”
The ruthless suppression of the military was also revealed through the mouth of the police.

The police crossed the border and went to India because they couldn’t follow the order to “shoot the demonstrators until they die.”
Originally, according to the rules of dissolution of protesters, you must shoot rubber bullets or shoot only below the knee.
Both schools and students are being trampled.
The military’s suppression is of any age, gender, time and place.
Since the coup on the 1st of last month, only 60 people have been confirmed to have died so far.
Protesters in Myanmar are calling for the UN to actively intervene.
However, the UN Security Council could not even agree to issue a statement concerning “invasion of human rights and freedoms” against opposition from China and Russia.
