(Burma Revolution’s post from their Facebook pages on 26 March 2021.)
The exact location was at the front gate of State High
School No-5 in Kamaryut Ward. But to show their disrespect to the Americans’
respect to Burmese people, the Yaba-fed soldiers and cops came back to the
school and took away the US wreath and other signs of their condolences.
Bastards!
Nyi Nyi was brutally killed by a Burmese Army’s sniper for no reason other than that he and the fellow students of Gen-Z are peacefully protesting to restore their human rights and the democratically elected NLD government taken away illegally by the power-mad Min Aung Hlaing and his war-dog generals on February-1.

A Myanmar Life Ended: Nyi Nyi Aung Htet
A graduate of
the University of West Yangon with a bachelor’s degree in the Myanmar language,
he found employment as a network engineer with one of the many Internet
companies that were founded during the past five years as Myanmar opened after
decades of isolation. Such companies have brought hope of a better life to
university graduates who faced staggeringly high rates of unemployment under
military rule – at least when universities were permitted to operate.
Nyi Nyi Aung
Htet enjoyed working and playing. One of his favorite pastimes was playing Mobile
Legends, a mobile multiplayer online battle arena. Released in 2016, the game
has become popular in Southeast Asia and was among the games chosen for the
2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines. He was known by many players of
the game. When not online, he enjoyed spending time with his twin brother and
his dog named Par Kyel.
With the
Tatmadaw taking control of the government again and already taking steps to
return the country to isolation (internet blocked, banks closed, international
flights cancelled), much of the most promising new careers are now highly
uncertain. With this hope for his future being crushed, he joined the
protestors.
He knew what he
risked. The Tatmadaw has a long history of brutality against the civilian
population of Myanmar. Many have been killed and many have been held as
political prisoners in deplorable conditions – sometimes for decades. He
persisted, nevertheless, for he believed that democracy and a bright future
would not return to Myanmar if the Tatmadaw succeeded.
The Tatmadaw
relies on its old playbook in dealing with protestors. It promulgated a law
making illegal any group in excess of four people. It initially maintained the
appearance of restraint using water canons and rubber bullets to mask its use
of live rounds. It attempted to shut off the means of protestor communication.
It released
violent prisoners into neighborhoods, from where protestors came, to wreck
havoc, loot, and rape. It identified where some protestors lived and dragged
them from their homes under the cover of night. It attempted to plant people
among the protestors and instructed them to hurl projectiles at the police.
This was
designed to give the police justification for using deadly force. It had
soldiers dressed as civilians pretend to be pro-Tatmadaw protestors and had
them attack the peaceful protestors while police stood by. Finally, the
Tatmadaw has resorted to using machine guns, grenades, and bulldozers. It was
in this phase that Nyi Nyi Aung Htet‘s life was taken.
