Global outcry as Myanmar's military junta murders some 100 pro-democracy protesters | DW News

US President Joe Biden condemned the violence against anti-coup protesters in Myanmar on Sunday. "It's absolutely outrageous and based on the reporting I've gotten, an awful lot of people have been killed totally unnecessarily," US President Joe Biden told reporters. When asked whether the US would be imposing sanctions, Biden said "we're working on that now."
Defense chiefs from 12 different countries had earlier condemned violence in Myanmar, which saw military forces open fire on anti-coup protesters, killing at least 100 people. The US, Britain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan issued the statement, a day after Myanmar's deadliest day of protests since the military coup in February. "We condemn the use of lethal force against unarmed people by the Myanmar Armed Forces and associated security services," the statement read.
