Trade unionist Zaw Zaw Htwe, a garment worker from Suntime JCK Company Limited and a member of Solidarity Trade Union (STUM) of Myanmar, was shot in the head by the security forces on March 14, 2021, during the protest in Shwe Pyi Thar. The killing is seemingly part of a crackdown on trade unionists and raids at union offices and factories in Myanmar after the military coup. Union organisers have been vocally requesting unpaid wages, organising protests and opposing the regime and its financiers.
