“We couldn’t stop him from taking it,” Aye Chan San said. “They said ‘do you want us to shoot you again?'”. “They also asked my father to let him take the girl away but he refused and after the soldiers left, little Khin Myo Chit was taken to the hospital where she died. UNICEF says that they would be at least 23 minors killed so far.
The news of the child’s death caused great dismay across the country. Today the noisy demonstrations in all cities have given way to a silence strike. Deserted streets and lowered shutters. The military freed 600 prisoners who had been arrested during the protests following the military coup. Among the people released from prison was also a journalist from the AP agency who was arrested last month.
The hearing scheduled against the de facto leader deposed by the coup leaders Aung San Suu Kyi scheduled for this morning has been postponed to April 1.
