blog from the heart of the event

Today this first hand account was published on an online blog from Burma. One man, working as a part time officer at an Emergency ward recalls patients being rushed in from the violent protests.

“At 2pm, five patients came to the Emergency room with gun shot wounds from government military weapons.”

The blog also recalls the scene where people were being pronounced dead who did not even have anything to do with the protests.

“One patient who had been shot in the bladder died on arrival to hospital with four people still in a bad diagnosis.

These patients are not even in the line of protests; they are just chatting and watching the protest as pedestrians or sitting in a cafĂ© bar near Shawe Dagon Pagoda.”

It is believed that a government military car crossing the protest line randomly shot all of them to the disbelief and horror of the blogger.

“What kind of insanity and inhumanity is this? Don’t they have a conscience that can desire whether or not they should do this? Don’t they have family? Don’t they have a brain? I was very sorry for the victims and their relatives.”

The blogger went on to express his anguish at the government and gave his support for the monks and people of Burma.

“It is really unintelligent the way the government is managing the country in this situation. I am now ready to support all the Monks and people and will treat them whenever they get injuries. This protest is our chance to improve our country.”
