“It’s so terrible that I haven’t gotten out of the shock yet.”
Military supporters also join the’white terror’
Half of the 48 victims are under 25
Tet, a Myanmar resident in Mandalay, where a large number of victims were caused by the military’s suppression, told JoongAng Ilbo on the 6th (local time) about the’white terrorism’ that took place in the Magwe area the day before. It is reported that a 17-year-old boy was brutally murdered, along with related materials.
According to Myan Manau, about 25 supporters of the United Unity and Development Party (USDP) who are supported by the military were named Tway Aung (53), the head of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in a village in Magwe, and his nephew, Nan Wai Aung, a 17-year-old boy. They murdered and wounded five members of their family by wielding weapons and the like. Tway’s son said, “They waited for us with weapons and weapons, and then attacked us,” he said. “If we kill them, we can do anything, kill everyone.” He said, “I couldn’t save my father because I had to run away.”
Myanmar was terrorized as the military and police and even supporters of the military began to terrorize. Kean, who lives in Yangon, told the JoongAng Ilbo on the 6th, “The military uses weapons for war, but citizens go to war without weapons.” I can do it.” Another Yangon citizen sent a video of his father being arrested on the road while looking for a job to the JoongAng Ilbo via social media, saying, “I didn’t even protest, and I was dragged to prison for no reason.”

CNN reported that young generations, the main pillars of the protests, are being killed by snipers one after another. Chial Shin (19), Mai Myo Au (16), and Jin Koko Zau (22) were shot dead in the head and abdomen. Local media reported that on the night of the 5th, people believed to be members of the military had stolen the grave of’Taekwon Girl’ Chial, and covered the body with cement. He was robbed to get rid of the evidence of the shooting.
The same goes for those arrested during the protests. According to Myan Manau, 18-year-old Wyn Kanchan Maung, who was arrested during a protest in Yangon on the 3rd, returned from head to toe covered with wounds and bruises. Wynn’s mother said, “I can’t touch my face or anywhere,” and wept, “My son doesn’t have weapons. Is there any need to do this?”
The Myanmar Civil Organization Political Offender Support Association (AAPP) said that half of the 48 people killed by military repression were under the age of 25. There were 17 deaths under the age of 20.
