    Woman shot last week at Myanmar protest dies
  • A woman who was shot in the head by police during a protest last week against the military's takeover of power in Myanmar died Friday morning, her brother said.

    Mya Thwet Thwet Khine was shot during a demonstration in the capital Naypyitaw on February 9. She had been on life support at a hospital and doctors had said there was no chance of recovery.

    The shooting was captured on video

  • Video of the shooting showed her sheltering from water cannons and suddenly dropping to the ground after a bullet penetrated a motorcycle helmet she had been wearing.

    The woman is the first confirmed death among the protesters who have faced off with security forces after a junta took power on February 1, detained Myanmar's elected leaders, and prevented Parliament from convening.

  • Information

    A source at the hospital confirmed the death

  • Her brother, Ye Htut Aung, who spoke to The Associated Press from a mortuary, said she died at 11:05 am Friday. A source at Naypyitaw's 1000-Bed General Hospital, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fear of harassment from the authorities, confirmed the death.

  • Details

    No independent accounts of her committing violence

  • Meanwhile, a spokesman for the ruling military at a news conference this week did not deny the 19-year-old woman had been shot by security forces but said she was a part of the crowd that had thrown rocks at police, and the case was under investigation.

    However, there were no independent accounts of her taking part in any violence.

  • Protests

    Protesters hailed the deceased woman as a hero

  • Protesters had already hailed Mya Thwet Thwet Khine as a hero and commemorated her during demonstrations earlier this week.

    Since the coup, the US and British governments have imposed sanctions targeting the new military leaders, and they and other governments and the United Nations have called for Aung San Suu Kyi's administration to be restored.
