One reported dead, many hurt as Myanmar police fire at protesters
Al Jazeera
Local media say police opened fire on protesters in Yangon, killing at least one person and wounding many more.
Police in Myanmar moved quickly to stamp out protests against military rule on Sunday, firing live rounds in the air and lobbing stun grenades and tear gas canisters at thousands of demonstrators in the country’s largest city, Yangon. Several bloodied people were seen being helped away from protests in Yangon in images posted by media outlets, but it was not clear if they were hurt by rubber bullets or live fire. The Myanmar Now media group posted a video of a wounded man lying on the street near the Hledan Centre intersection, and said he had been “shot in his chest area by what appeared to be live ammunition”.More Related News
