More than 80 civilians, including students, were massacred by the Myanmar military regime in a single day in Bago Friday.
The initial death toll from the dawn attacks on anti-regime strongholds in Bago was about 60, but the number of those slain has continued to grow as more details emerge.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoner (AAPP), which has been documenting the lists of fatalities and detention since the Feb.1 coup, now says that about 82 people were killed by the regime’s troops during the Bago raids.
