Ko Ko Htet, 20, suffered a fatal gunshot to the chest at the hands of junta forces on Apr. 15.
A man was shot dead and four others were wounded in a mosque compound when regime troops raided a Muslim neighborhood in Mandalay on Thursday morning.
Ko Ko Htet, 20, was struck in the chest when five soldiers randomly opened fire in the compound of Sule Mosque in Maha Aung Myay Township. His disabled brother-in-law Ko Min Min Latt was shot in the hand.
The shooting comes during both Myanmar’s Thingyan traditional New Year holiday and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
