Civilians Dying in Myanmar Military Crackdown

Since the beginning of Myanmar’s military coup on 1 February, they have been increasing its use of force, therefore, more than 550 civilians are killed in this violent crackdown including 46 children. Last Sunday was considered the most brutal and violent day until now as around 100 people were killed in one day.
