In Burma, a second official from deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party has died while being detained, as mass protests continue against the February 1 military coup. Meanwhile, a video has gone viral showing a nun kneeling before police officers Monday in the Burmese city of Myitkyina, begging them to stop killing people. This is Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng.
Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng: “They said they will crack down on the protest. As I said, I don’t want to see any trouble here and can’t leave if police don’t leave. I begged them not to shoot the children.”
At least two people in the area were killed by police that day, according to local sources.
