Myanmar’s military is now openly saying that they are ready to risk being shot in the head by protesters.

It is unlikely that the sacrifices of Myanmar citizens will decrease in the future.

According to Reuters on the 27th, Myanmar’s state-run MRTV told the protesters on the report the night before, “You should know that you may be in danger of being shot in the head and back.”

This report seems to be a warning message to the protesters in that it came one day ahead of the Myanmar military’s biggest event, the Myanmar Army Day.

Myanmar activists are calling for massive protests against the coup across the country on Myanmar Army Day.

Human rights groups inside and outside Myanmar have raised suspicions that the military is using snipers to aim and shoot at unarmed civilians as more and more citizens die from being shot in the head.

According to the Myanmar Human Rights Organization Political Offender Support Association (AAPP), as of the previous day, 328 people were confirmed to have died in military and police violence such as shootings.

According to AAPP analysis, it is estimated that around 25% of the deaths were shot in the head and killed, as a result of aiming fire.

In response, the military has denied suspicions that it is aiming at the head, while minimizing the use of live ammunition.

The military said, “In connection with the dissolution of the protesters, the military police received instructions not to use live ammunition,” through the state-run MRTV on the 1st. It was allowed to be,” he said.

However, as the military publicly mentions through TV that’you can get shot in the head and back’, there are concerns that the atrocities of the military and police in suppressing protesters in the field are likely to spread further.
