YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Police used tear gas and rubber bullets again Wednesday to violently disperse protesters against last month’s military takeover. Snubbing ASEAN’s appeal, Myanmar’s security forces on Wednesday continued to attack peaceful protesters. In Magwe, also in central Myanmar, a student was reported seriously injured with a gunshot wound. One person was reported shot in Pyinoolwin, a town in central Myanmar better known to many by its British colonial name, Maymyo. The shooting was said to have broken out when security forces blocked a road to protesters.
