In Myanmar, chaos continued today (6th) amid protests against the coup and forced repression to stop it. The military is showing more and more brutal behavior, even digging the grave of a 19-year-old girl who has become a symbol of the resistance movement.

Contrary to the phrase “It’s all going well,” Chial Shin, a 19-year-old girl, was shot and killed at the scene of a protest against the coup on the 3rd.
On her social media, along with pictures of enjoying Taekwondo and dancing, there was a message stating that she would donate her body as if she was prepared for death.
A funeral took place in the memorial of thousands, and the very next night, reports of her grave being dug.
The soldiers sealed the cemetery, dug the body out of the tomb, and sealed the gunshot wound to the head.

There are suspicions that it was attempted to manipulate the cause of death, as it happened while authorities said they would investigate the cause of the death of Chial.
Protests against the coup continued today across Myanmar including Yangon and Mandalay.
Up to now, at least 55 people have been counted to have been killed by military police shooting at the scene of the protest, and today even victims of terrorism have been reported.
Military supporters attacked local representatives and family members of a political party led by Suu Kyi, killing two and wounding five.
As rumors circulate that the military government will sooner or later proclaim martial law with a 24-hour internet cutoff and a cut-off measure, Myanmar’s unrest is growing.
