Anti-coup medical workers under attack while tackling Myanmar’s health care gap

Thiha Tin Htun, a 26-year-old doctor, is one of the 135 medical professionals that Myanmar’s junta authorities have killed since their military coup d’etat four years ago.

He was shot while participating in a mass protest of teachers and students in the city of Mandalay on the afternoon of March 27, 2021, two months after the Feb. 1 coup.
