YANGON, 30 March, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, a local monitoring group of Myanmar affirmed that more than 500 people have been killed in the Myanmar junta’s brutal crackdown on protests against the 1 February coup arrest of the elected leader Suu Kyi.

The toll passed as the world powers stand against and ramped condemnation of the military’s ruthless campaign.

The protest movement demanded restoration of democracy and release of the leader.

However, U.S., Russia, and other countries stood up against the brutal junta crackdowns as the UN SG Antonio Gueterres called for united  global front to pressurize the junta as the killings increased with each passing demonstration.
