But she had known it might not be OK — leaving details of her blood group, a contact number and a request to donate her body in the event of her death. Angel, also known as Kyal Sin, was killed by a shot to the head on the streets of Mandalay as she fought for a tentative democracy in which she had proudly voted for the first time last year, an election overturned by the Feb. 1 coup.

Angel’s body lies during her funeral, March 4, 2021. Sai Tun, 32, who attended the funeral, said he could not come to terms with what had happened to her. “We feel so angry about their inhuman behaviour and really sad at the same time,” he told Reuters by telephone. “We’ll fight dictatorship until the end. We must prevail.” REUTERS/Stringer
