Death of Kyal Sin

Kyal Sin (Burmese: ကြယ်စင်), also known as Angel or by her Chinese name, Deng Jiaxi (邓家希), was a 19-year-old woman from Mandalay who was killed on 3 March 2021 during the 2021 Burmese protests. Kyal Sin emerged as an early martyr and symbol of resistance against the military junta's use of violence to suppress the protest movement. She was one of several teenagers and young adults who gave up their lives in the protests. As of 13 March, around 60 civilians had lost their lives; more than a third of the dead are teenagers.
