In the process of suppressing anti-coup protesters by the military and police in Myanmar, violence against citizens is increasing day by day.
On the afternoon of the 9th, Myanmar citizens posted a series of photos and videos showing the brutality of the Myanmar military police on social media such as Twitter. In particular, photographs of citizens getting hit with chains and wounds in the form of red stripes on their backs or applying medicine to these wounds are spreading.
If you look at the newly spreading photos on this day, there are red lines on the back of a man lying down.
The citizen who posted the photo said, “A protester who had been arrested in Mayik (South Myanmar) was released, but his back was brutally beaten with chains (by military and police).”
A citizen who posted a picture of applying drugs criticized that “the case was arrested in the morning in Mayik and released in the evening because he was a 15-year-old underage.”
Likewise, photos of citizens with bruises on their backs were uploaded one after another on social media.

Citizens criticized that “military terrorists took even minors and tortured them cruelly. Now they are not only arresting protesters, they are tortured and beaten them.”
Myanmar military police fire tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition at citizens, and when arrested, they also baptize with clubs, kick, and strike them with guns. In the meantime, countless photos of citizens who died from live ammunition, as well as adults and children, were shed by slingshots and rubber bullets.
Members of the state adviser Aung San Suu Kyi detained in the military defined the military regime as terrorists, and citizens also called them terrorists.
The Political Offender Support Association (AAPP), a civil organization in Myanmar, said that 1857 people were arrested and more than 60 people died until the day before the coup on the 1st of last month.
