Breaking News! Young Woman Victims Of Shooting Protests Against Myanmar Military Coup Killed

JAKARTA - Mya Thweh Tweh Khine, a young woman was shot in the head during a demonstration against Myanmar's military coup, was finally declared dead on Friday, February 19 local time.

This news was said by the family to CNN. He is the first known victim of the ongoing protests.

Mya Thweh Thweh Khine has been in critical condition since 9 February, when she was shot at a protest in Naypyidaw.

At that time, a source of direct information about the victim said he was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. Doctors confirmed the bullet that had pierced his head was a live bullet.

Doctors and his family said he was in very little condition to survive, because the bullet was lodged in his head, surgery could not be performed and had to be assisted with life support equipment. He was also declared brain dead.

The military had asked to treat him, but the hospital and his family did not allow him because they were worried about his condition. His image has since become a symbol of the mass pro-democracy protests over the past two weeks.
