| U.N. Condemns Myanmar Junta after 3 Killed in Anti-Coup Unrest |
| 2021-02-22 |
| [AnNahar] A lethal attack on anti-coup protesters in Myanmar sparked fresh U.N. condemnation of the country's new military regime on Sunday, as mourners held a funeral for a young woman who has become a national symbol of resistance to the junta. Authorities have gradually ratcheted up their tactics against a massive and largely peaceful civil disobedience campaign demanding the return of ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Saturday marked the deadliest day so far in more than two weeks of nationwide street demonstrations after two people were killed when security forces fired upon a rally, while a third man was rubbed out in Yangon overnight. |
