As per the current confirmed documentation, 22 civilians died and more than 20 wounded, three are in critical condition in that township. Junta forces did not leave the streets and wards and they violated and arsoned neighbourhoods," the group said."A similarly extreme crackdown occurred in Bago resulting in two deaths (including one woman) and 19 injuries. The woman died on the spot from a headshot. The junta forces threw this body into a ditch, covered with rubbish then left, said the residents," the statement further read.As shootings with unarmed students and youths intensify, factories and departmental offices have also been set ablaze by the junta forces in some townshipsLarge numbers of protesters have taken to the streets of Myanmar since the military seized power in the February 1 coup, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, despite the increasingly deadly posture taken by security forces to quiet the wave of protests.Despite increasing international pressure to restore the democratically-elected government, the Myanmar junta have ignored the condemnation and has continued to violently suppress the protests against its unlawful takeover of the country.
