Shots fired as Myanmar journalist live-streams police raid to detain him
(Reuters) - A Myanmar journalist live-streamed police shooting close to his apartment as they detained him in a crackdown on protesters against military rule.
"Help, help. They're shooting at me," Kaung Myat Hlaing, a reporter for the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), can be heard shouting in the video taken in the southern coastal town of Myeik.
The video is shot from a first-floor balcony, where clothes are drying on a line, as police shine a light from the street below and shout at him to come down. There is the sound of someone apparently pulling at the front door and then a puff of smoke appears on the balcony, accompanied by what sounds like gunfire.
The DVB news agency confirmed the detention of Kaung Myat Hlaing in a statement and called for his release, as well as the release of other detained journalists.
