Jumla ya watu 114 wameuawa katika maandamano 44 tofauti yaliyofanyika katika miji ya Myanmar kupinga utawala wa kijeshi unaoendelea katika nchi hiyo.
Umoja wa Mataifa(UN), umelaani mauaji hayo yaliyotokea Jumamosi, ambapo wamewataka wanajeshi kufanya kazi yao ya Kuwahudumia watu kwa kuwalinda.
UN imesema hayo ni mauaji ya halaiki ambayo hayakubaliki, tangu kuanza kwa maandamano Februari 1 nchini humo jumla ya watu 423 wameuawa.
Mbali na mauaji yanayotekelezwa waandamaji bado wanaendelea na maandamano kupinga utawala wa kijeshi na kutaka utawala wa kidemokrasia.

Two top UN officials condemned Myanmar's military junta in the wake of the bloodiest day of protests yet against the military coup that overthrew the country's elected government, as defiant protesters turned out once more Sunday.
At least 114 people were killed Saturday during demonstrations in 44 towns and cities across the country, according to a tally by the independent Myanmar Now news outlet. CNN has been unable independently to confirm the number of people killed.
In a joint statement, Alice Wairimu Nderitu, UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, and Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, urged the Myanmar military to "immediately stop killing the very people it has the duty to serve and protect."
The officials also "strongly condemned the Myanmar military's widespread, lethal, increasingly systematic attacks against peaceful protesters, as well as other serious violations of human rights since it seized power on 1 February 2021."
The UN Special Rapporteur for Myanmar said the army was carrying out "mass murder" and called on the world to isolate the junta and halt its access to weapons.
According to the latest tally by the nonprofit Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, at least 423 people have been killed in Myanmar since the military coup on February 1.
At least six children between the ages of 10 and 16 were among those killed on Saturday, Myanmar's Armed Forces Day, according to news reports and witnesses, Reuters reported.
Despite the bloodshed, some protesters returned to the streets Sunday to demonstrate against Myanmar's military in parts of Yangon and other districts across Myanmar.
Live streams Sunday showed people marching to protest the military in Phayar Then Zu along the Thailand-Myanmar border, filling the streets. Some protesters also took to the streets in Magway and Myingyan, according to Myanmar Now.
Residents told local media that military forces had been firing indiscriminately in Yangon since early morning. Images shared on social media purport to show at least one man was shot dead in Hlaing Township on Sunday.
Local media also reported a woman was shot in the head by security forces in Mon Ywa, central Myanmar.
A 40-year-old Mandalay resident was shot and burnt alive by military troops, according to Myanmar Now, which quoted residents and a night guard in the victim's neighborhood. Its report added that locals were unable to help the victim due to "continuous gunfire from the troops."
Also in Myingyan, Mandalay, a 24-year-old woman was killed and two others were injured when the coup regime's gunmen opened fire on protesters on Sunday, according to Myanmar Now.
The independent news outlet also reported the killing of a 20-year-old nurse on Sunday in Monywa. Its report said the nurse was shot in the head by the military as she attended to others injured by military troops. She was reportedly a part of a rescue team. A man who is yet to be identified was also shot dead by the military alongside the nurse, Myanmar Now added.
In another incident, it reported that a women's rights activist, part of the "Women for Justice" organization in Myanmar was killed by the military during a crackdown on an anti-coup protest in Kalay, Sagaing.
Reuters news agency reported, quoting witnesses, that Myanmar security forces opened fire Sunday at people gathered in the town of Bago for the funeral of one of the 114 people killed the previous day. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the gunfire.
CNN cannot independently verify the reports.
CNN has also repeatedly requested comment from Myanmar's military but has not received a response.
