YANGON (Bloomberg): Dozens of Myanmar protesters died in demonstrations on a holiday once known as Resistance Day, as both the junta and those against its February coup showed no signs of backing down from weeks of conflict.
At least 77 people in 36 townships were killed on Saturday (March 27) during crackdowns by the military, according to rights group Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, adding that the number may be much higher. That would make it the bloodiest day since the coup” began, the association’s co-founder Bo Kyi said.
