Kyal Sin was clear-eyed as she prepared to take part in protests this week against the military regime in Myanmar. The teenage girl wrote down her blood type in a Facebook post, should she be injured; and asked that her organs be donated should she die.
Her nickname was Angel.
The photo of Kyal Sin at that demonstration has been seen around the world by now. A young girl on the ground, reaching out, crouching behind protest banners, and wearing a T-shirt that says, Everything will be OK.
But police fired tear gas. Shooting started from security forces. Kyal Sin shouted, Are we united? and the protesters around her shouted back, in a chant, United! United!
