A young woman who was shot in the head by police during a protest last week against the military's takeover of power in Myanmar died Friday morning, her brother said.
Mya Thwet Thwet Khine was shot during a demonstration in the capital Naypyitaw on Feb 9. She had been on life support at a hospital with what doctors had said was no chance of recovery.
Video of the shooting showed her sheltering from water cannons and suddenly dropping to the ground after a bullet penetrated a motorcycle helmet she had been wearing.
