[국제]Myanmar military and police protesters also fired live ammunition…ASEAN demands release of shame and end of violence

[앵커]

AFP news agency reported that Myanmar military police fired live ammunition at the protesters again two days after the worst bloodshed in which at least 18 people were killed, the AFP news agency said.

ASEAN countries virtually broke the principle of non-interference in internal affairs and urged Myanmar’s military government to release politicians, including shame torture, and to end violence.

Numerous Myanmar citizens have taken over the roads and protested against the coup.

Tear gas is sprayed indiscriminately over protesters who struck barricades, confronted the military and police, and held peaceful protests.

In an instant, the ranks collapsed and the demonstrators retreated back, refining the line and continuing the confrontation.

However, as water cannons are sprayed over the protesters and soldiers and police embark on an arrest operation, they are dragged away without force.

The camera also captured some soldiers aiming at fleeing protesters.

Foreign media reported that it is reminiscent of the May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising and the Tiananmen democratization protests in China.

It is unclear whether the soldiers shot rubber or live ammunition.

However, the AFP news agency said three protesters were seriously injured when a live ammunition was fired in the town of Kalay in northwestern Myanmar.

It’s been two days after the worst bloodshed last Sunday in which at least 18 people were killed in live ammunition by the military and police.

ASEAN countries, which held video conferences to resolve the Myanmar crisis, virtually broke the principle of non-interference in internal affairs and urged the Myanmar military government to release political prisoners such as shame torture and end violence.

However, the statement from the ASEAN chairman after the meeting presented only a principled position that urged all parties to refrain from violence and to resolve the situation peacefully through dialogue and reconciliation.
