A young woman who was shot in the head by the police last week during a protest against the military coup in Myanmar died on Friday, her family said. Hers was the first confirmed death among the thousands of protesters who have faced off against security forces since the junta took power on Feb.1, detained the country’s elected leaders and prevented Parliament from convening. The woman, Mya Thwet Khine, was shot during a demonstration in the capital, Naypyidaw, on Feb.
