“During this period, the breakdown of child victims killed is: 63 males and nine females. One is gender-unknown,” the NUG says.

The children were killed either while staging the protests, being inside their house, or playing outside.

The victims killed in the recent crack-downs in Mindat, Kani and Demawso Townships are not included in the list. This number will be added to the list later.
