A spectrum of classes and ethnic groups, the deaths occurred on Saturday when police began clashing with striking shipyard workers and other protesters, according to Reuters. One man was reported to have died of head injuries, and the other, identified by relatives as a 36-year-old carpenter, died after being shot in the chest.

The Myanmar military denied using lethal force at the February 9 protest in Naypyidaw, where Mia Thwati was Thwate. Khing went to the demonstration wearing a red shirt and a helmet, but video footage of the event, analyzed by Human Rights Watch and Reuters, shows Mia Thawati Kheng standing that day next to a line of riot police as she moves to disperse the crowd. It was first struck by a stream of water cannons. Then a woman next to her takes her hand and turns their back in retreat. This is when a cracking sound can be heard, after which Mia Thwati Thawati Khing collapses as the water continues to spray. Doctors have confirmed that Mia Thawati Kheng was shot and identified as at least two other people who had been hit by a live bullet. The BBC reported that the 19-year-old girl – Mia Thawati Thawati Khing was only two days away from her birthday – had traveled to Naypyidaw with her sister from Yazin village, northeast of the capital. And their family, while supporting the protests, warned them not to join them, for fear of an outbreak of violence, according to Reuters, and Mia Thwati Thawat Khayeng’s brother, Yi Htut Ong, told Reuters it continued nonetheless.

The government choked internet and mobile phone connections in an attempt to thwart the protests, and the anxious Brother once again told them to back off. “What would you do if they shot?” He asked, according to the Guardian. She replied, “No, they won’t.” “He’s okay. Even if they shoot, it’s okay.” They didn’t speak again. Mia Thwati Thawati Khing remained on resuscitation until her death, and in November, Mia Thwati Thani Khing voted for the first time for the National League for Democracy (NLD) Suu Kyi’s party. Her brother said her family also supported the party. But the NLD’s success in the elections prompted the army to act against the elected leadership in Myanmar, citing, without evidence, of massive voter fraud as an excuse. “I want to encourage all citizens. On joining the protests so we can get rid of this system, “her sister Mia Tha Toei Noi told reporters Friday, according to the BBC.” That’s all I want to say. ”
