Myanmar police have opened fired on protests against military rule, killing at least six people and wounding several on the second day of a crackdown on demonstrations across the country, a doctor and a politician said.
Police opened fire in different parts of the main city of Yangon after stun grenades and tear gas failed to disperse crowds. Police were also cracking down on a huge protest in the second city of Mandalay and in the northeastern town of Lashio, residents there said. In Yangon, several people were helped away, leaving blood-smeared pavements, after police fired, images posted by media showed.
State-run MRTV television said more than 470 people had been arrested. It said police had given warnings before using stun grenades to disperse people.
'opened fired'? Opened fire, or fired? C'mon - I'm an immigrant and I can do better than this.
This is another Chinese inspired Coup to destablize this entire region! And STILL, the world will not hold China to account because they fear what else China will do! And the world still wants its cheap cars, phones and other goods from China! So think about this when shopping!
