The Myanmar coup is still heating up in the country. The people who oppose the coup are rallying to demonstrate.
The reason behind this coup is the military's claim of election fraud in the previous November's general election. In 2020, the Myanmar election was won by the NLD party, which secured 83% of the votes. However, the result was deemed invalid, and the military claimed to have found fraud involving 10 million voters, as reported by CNBC.
The Myanmar military took measures such as arresting civilian leaders, cutting off internet access, and closing flights. The purpose of this coup is to restore full military power in Myanmar.
Tragically, this demonstration resulted in the death of a 19-year-old student and protester named Deng Jia Xi. Let's remember her struggle through the following pictures.
