The funeral procession of the 19-years-old Mya Thwe Thwe Khine, dead after getting shot in the head by the police and sustaining severe injury to her brain, was joined by about one hundred thousand people in Nay Pyi Taw.

Citizens from eight townships within the Nay Pyi Taw municipality area came together on February 21 to see her off to the Kwae Gyi Cemetery

 The body was carried from the Nay Pyi Taw's 1000-bed hospital at 11am, reaching the cemetery at around 2pm.

"When we left the hospital, it was only with a thousand people or so. On the way, people began to join the funeral procession and the crowd numbered to around one hundred thousand when we reach the cemetery. Looking at the amount of people that want democracy and the protests against military dictatorship across the nation, her death has not been in vain. I want to urge all to participate in efforts to bring down the military dictatorship," said a person that was in the funeral procession. 

The police were seen posted along the funeral procession route and security was especially heavy in the cemetery with multiple police vehicles. The internet was also cut out all around the cemetery.
