- “Everything will be OK,” read 19-year-old Angel’s T-shirt as the dancer and taekwondo champion joined anti-coup protesters in Myanmar on Wednesday.
Angel, also known as Kyal Sin, was killed by a shot to the head on the streets of Mandalay as she fought for a tentative democracy in which she had proudly voted for the first time last year, an election overturned by the Feb. 1 coup. Myat Thu said he and Angel were among hundreds who had gathered peacefully in Myanmar’s second city to denounce the coup and call for the release of detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
She also shared her pride in voting for the first time on Nov. 8 - posting a picture of herself kissing her finger, stained purple to show she had voted. On the day of the coup, Angel joked on Facebook that she hadn’t known what was going on when the internet was cut off.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to her family. She was sacrificed her life for the democracy and justice, we will remember her as a heroine. Rest In Peace.

Rest In Peace😞
