In Myanmar more than 40 children died on protest. In this view Myanmar junta faced fresh international criticism and the "forced disappearance" of hundreds of people in its crackdown on pro-democracy protests. The military's ruthless suppression of demonstrations against its February 1 power grab has left 543 civilians dead, including 44 children, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a local monitoring organisation.
For your information let us share that police try to break protests with tear gas, rubber bullets and live rounds, security forces have detained some 2,700 people. But Violence has ramped up in recent weeks, with Save the Children saying the death toll of youngsters had more than doubled in the past 12 days. The charity said in a statement "We are shocked that children continue to be among the targets of these fatal attacks, despite repeated calls to protect children from harm,". "It is especially horrifying that several of these children were reportedly killed at home, where they should have been safe from harm."
However, here it is to be noted that the authorities have made numerous arrests during night raids on the homes of people suspected of supporting the rallies or the civil disobedience movement that has sprung up aimed at stopping the military from running the country.
