Myanmar security forces killed three people Monday during demonstrations in towns across the country following the deadliest weekend since the February military coup, according to reports from Reuters and Agence France-Presse.
Witnesses told media outlets that three people were killed in Yangon when security forces fired on protesters. Protests took place Monday throughout the country, including in Sagaing Region, where hundreds of mourners lined the street to pay tribute to a 20-year-old nursing student who was shot and killed Sunday while helping provide aid to injured protesters. Myanmar’s security forces reportedly killed at least 114 people Saturday as the regime staged a major show of might for Armed Forces Day, which commemorates the start of local resistance to the Japanese occupation during World War II.
