‘How many dead bodies,’ asked Myanmar protester killed on bloodiest day

The day before he was killed, internet network engineer Nyi Nyi Aung Htet Naing had posted on Facebook about the increasingly violent military crackdown on pro-democracy protests in Myanmar. He was among the first shot dead in Myanmar’s biggest city of Yangon on February 28, the bloodiest day since the February 1 coup prompted daily protests against the junta and to demand the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
