Myanmar protester dies after 10 days on life support 19th February, 2021 10:58:20 YANGON: A young woman protester in Myanmar who was shot in the head last week as police dispersed a crowd died on Friday, her brother said, marking the first death among opponents of the Feb 1 military coup since they began demonstrating two weeks ago. News of her death came as police and soldiers arrested about 50 people in the northern town of Myitkyina, a human rights activist said, after breaking up a procession carrying banners of detained government leader Aung San Suu Kyi, reports Reuters. Mya Thwate Thwate Khaing, who had just turned 20, had been on life support since being taken to hospital on Feb 9, after she was hit by what doctors said was a live bullet at a protest in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw. I feel really sad and have nothing to say, said her brother, Ye Htut Aung, speaking by telephone.
