The military regime of Myanmar, led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, continued to use its iron fist against anti-coup protestors for a second month, following its power grab on February 1. As of March 17, 217 people had been killed and 1,872 people arrested by the security forces of the self-appointed “state administrative council.” The people of Myanmar, including local media, commonly refer to the “council” as a terrorist military regime. The actions of the regime’s soldiers and police have been recorded by civilians and shared on social media by journalists over the first two weeks of March. For years, we’ve documented cases of forced portering and dehumanizing acts of torture, i.e. forcing people to crawl like animals, in ethnic states. Here you appear to see both … in the city. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar pic.twitter.com/M6zKpj45Qf — Matthew Smith (@matthewfsmith) March 19, 2021 On March 3, the military committed atrocities in the central town of Monywa, where eight people were killed. Drone footage [Warning: Graphic imagery] showed soldiers carrying away bodies on the street. That evening, the military opened fire in North Okkalapa, a township of Yangon. There were reports about the use of submachine guns and the deaths of 20 people during the incident. Footage [Warning: Graphic imagery] showed an arrested man being shot from behind and dragged on the street. Another [Warning: Graphic imagery] showed soldiers hitting medical volunteers. A total of 38 people died across six cities on March 3. Images also showed soldiers shooting at homes. Video from Mandalay showed police beating a detained protester. At night, the military raided the head office of a funeral parlor known for its free services. On March 6, video footage recorded riot police violently attacking a closed shop in Yangon and dragging people outside. Injured protesters also died during detention. On the evening of March 6, a Muslim member of the former ruling party National League for Democracy (NLD) was arrested by the military. He died while in custody the next morning. Another video [Warning: Graphic imagery] on March 7 showed an arrested protester being attacked and dragged on the street in Mandalay by riot police. Beginning on March 7, the military forces started to occupy civilian spaces such as hospitals and universities in several cities, including Yangon, Loikaw, Mandalay, Pathein, Pyay, Lashio and Muse. Civilians who tried to oppose the occupation were attacked. Terrorists occupying the hospitals. Are you seeing this @WHO @WHOSEARO? The terrorist junta is doing things not even permitted in war zones. ?Hkl Mindat pic.twitter.com/qXZTRIvlav — Civil Disobedience Movement (@cvdom2021) March 12, 2021 On March 7, the military fired guns and threw stun grenades on the streets of Yangon to instil terror. Far from being afraid, residents responded by mocking the military, with some shouting “Happy New Year” from their homes after each gunshot or grenade sound, while others ignited firecrackers. Other videos spread on social media included angry, cursing people who claimed to be a military family, after the soldiers accidentally threw tear gas into their home, and a woman's recorded response when her home was shot at with slingshot by the military while she was chanting Buddhist prayers. #HappyNewYear The civilians of Myanmar mock the gunshots at night by shouting “Happy New Year.” According to the traditional calendar, Myanmar’s new year is coming up in April. #SaveMyanmar #WhatshappeningInMyanmar pic.twitter.com/h8H0F58OQx — GM4MD (@Gm4Md) March 15, 2021 The death toll of protesters reached 58 at the start of the second week of March. On March 8, many cities joined in the protests as part of International Women’s Day, with women waving their sarongs as flags. On the evening of March 8, many protesters in a San Chaung neighbourhood were trapped as soldiers surrounded the area. Protesters were hiding inside local residents’ homes. In response to this, people from other townships in Yangon came out at night to protest, defying the curfew orders. Around 30 people were arrested. The military regime also withdrew the licenses of five independent media agencies operating inside Myanmar on March 8. On the same day, soldiers raided the deserted offices of Myanmar Now and the next day, the offices of Mizzima and Kamayut Media.
