Grocery store worker Mya Thwate Thwate Khaing, 20, was shot last week as security forces advanced on coup protesters
Mya Thwate Thwate Khaing, a young woman who was shot in the head by police during protests in Myanmar last week has died, as thousands of protesters gathered again in Yangon on Friday. It is the first protest fatality since the military took control in a coup more than two weeks ago.
The 20-year-old had been on life support since being taken to hospital on 9 February after she was hit by what doctors said was a live bullet at a protest in the capital, Naypyitaw.
