Myanmar coup: Woman shot at protest fights for life. Why Moscow and China always support despots?
"A woman who was shot in the head while protesting against Myanmar's military coup is in a critical condition at a hospital in the capital Nay Pyi Taw.
She was hurt at a protest on Tuesday which saw police trying to disperse protesters using water cannon, rubber bullets and live rounds.
The wound was consistent with that of live ammunition, rights groups say.
There have been reports of serious injuries as police have increased their use of force, but no casualties so far.
Tens of thousands have turned out in street protests against the coup, which overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's democratically-elected government last week, despite a recent ban on large gatherings and a night curfew."
