On the 21st, the ceremony is held on the 21st of the year for a woman in her twenties who died after being brain-dead in a police shooting after participating in the Myanmar military coup disobedience rally.
On the 20th, according to the Associated Press and local media, the bereaved families announced plans to hold a ceremony in Naepido, the capital city on the 21st.
In Myanmar, where political unrest continues due to resistance from citizens after the coup, major foreign media predicted that the ceremony would be a watershed for the situation.
Cain was taken to the hospital after being shot in the head during a protest held in the capital Naepido on the 9th. However, after falling into a state of brain death, he died as a life support device on the 19th.
The international community’s concern over the Myanmar crisis is also rising.
State Department spokesman Ned Price said Friday that the news of Mr. Cain’s death was “sorrowed for the United States,” and said diplomatic efforts will continue to promote joint action by the international community toward those responsible for the coup.
European Union Foreign and Security Policy spokesman Navila Masrali also repeatedly urged the Myanmar police to refrain from violence against protesters, saying, “I express my condolences to Cain’s family and friends.”
EU foreign ministers will discuss the Myanmar issue at a meeting on the 22nd.
