Yangon Myanmar’s police have refused to open a case for a Yangon resident who was shot dead on Saturday night by suspected police officers.
Following the military regime’s imposition of the 8pm-4am curfew, late-night arrests of civilians and civil servants participating in the civil disobedience movement are mounting. Since the release of over 23,000 prisoners on Feb. 12, in what is believed to be an attempt to create unrest, Yangon residents have formed nighttime vigilante groups.
