Peaceful demonstrators have been shot on Wednesday in Myanmar and have recorded at least 38 deaths in protests across the country, despite the fact that the death toll is rising. Although there were several deaths in protests against the Board in the past days, Wednesday has been the bloodiest day since the coup d ' état took place on 1 February.
The demonstrations have challenged the bans imposed by the military junta and have taken to the streets to call for the restoration of democracy and the release of political prisoners. The Guardian has interviewed Thinzar Shunlei Yi, a human rights activist who says that "every day a massacre is taking place" in the country.
A multitude of videos are being disseminated on social networks documenting Wednesday's violence. This thread is gathering videos of attacks perpetrated in several cities.
Meanwhile, protests have continued in many cities, and protesters have erected barricades to face the Governing Board.
