Myanmar’s military junta warned that its forces would shoot protesters in the head, state tv stated, as anti-coup activists named for a massive show of defiance on the country’s Armed Forces Day on Saturday.
In the initial acknowledgement of a shoot-to-kill order by the army, a broadcast on the MRTV news channel directed at protesters stated: “You should learn… that you can be in danger of getting shot to the head and back.”
At least 320 persons have been killed in weeks of unrest considering that the military seized energy on February 1, according to figures as of Thursday evening from the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) activist group.
Its information shows that at least 25 % of these who had been killed died from shots to the head, raising suspicions they had been deliberately targeted for killing.
