(Bangkok, December 2, 2021) – Myanmar security forces deliberately encircled and used lethal force during the March 14, 2021 anti-junta protests in Yangon’s Hlaing Tharyar township, Human Rights Watch said today. Soldiers and police armed with military assault rifles fired on trapped protesters and on those trying to assist the wounded, killing at least 65 protesters and bystanders.     Following the February 1 military coup against Myanmar’s democratically elected government, numerous demonstrations broke out in Yangon and other cities. The police and military forces repeatedly used lethal force against largely peaceful protesters in violation of international human rights law. The deadly shootings in Hlaing Tharyar stand out because of the large number of people killed and the security forces’ apparent premeditated use of lethal force.  To support our work, please visit: https://hrw.org/donate Human Rights Watch: https://www.hrw.org Subscribe for more: https://bit.ly/2OJePrw
