A teenager and a young man are believed to be among those killed in Mandalay on Saturday.
Using the deadly force against demonstrators was condemned by the UN, as well as by countries like France, Singapore and Britain, while Facebook reportedly had wiped out the country's main military page. It says the army had violated its standards of halting violence, writes The Guardian, term Periscopi.
