This picture is part of the human brain of a young boy attacked by Burmese SPDC soldiers at Tarmwe Township, Yangon yesterday. Riot police were not using rubber-coated rods. They were using heavy iron rods instead, which broke the skull, putting the young man to the end on the spot. This photo was taken after the dead body was taken away by the notorious Burmese soldiers. (source: Burmamyanmargenocide)
Kenji Nagai, a photographer for the AFP news agency, lies defenceless in the street, apparently wounded but trying to take more photos of the military's assault. A soldier stands over him, pointing a gun at his chest. Japanese TV later reported that he had been shot at close range. (Source: Telegraph )

What more can I say? The latest news looks promising though. There is report of military coup. At least the military doesn't seem as heartless as their Chinese counterparts. Remember Tiananmen Square protests of 1989? I totally expected a military coup after the tragedy. Stories said they killed their own sons. Hope everything goes well in Myanmar...
P.S.: Bravo to all the bloggers and citizen journalists of Myanmar who are keeping outside world updated with the latest news. I wish outside world could be more active towards their plight. For the latest check the Cbox and this site.

its really sad why these things happen... some ppl dont really accept the reality - the military... all this to happen in today's world is really shocking... and as is ob, since this country is void of anything commercially viable, the great powers wud do nothing to help its ppl...
ReplyDeletewell thats not entirely true. US and EU have placed sanctions on Myanmar in 1990s. Actually India and China are the only big countries dealing with Myanmar due to their natural resources. I hope they place a sanction on Myanmar too.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah agreed, these countries could have done more to ensure things like these not happen. Isn't there any human rights association that can put a stop to this?
UN convey is there..but things are not looking that promising.
myanmar has natural resources?
ReplyDeletereally?

ReplyDeleteIt supposedly has petroleum. In fact Total (French Oil Company) and Chevron (US Oil Company) is in trouble for their business with Burma. Though I am not very sure how big are their assets but yeah they do have some.
