Lunar New Year celebrations, Myanmar protests and an Eagle hunter round out this week's best images.
To date, three protesters have been fatally shot.
The death of Mya Thwate Thwate Khaing adds to the growing fury over the military's Feb. 1 overthrow of Aung San Suu Kyi's government.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees is concerned there may be vulnerable women and children among the group set for repatriation back to Myanmar.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Myanmars military leaders extended their detention of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose freedom is a key demand of the protesters.
The U.S. is targeting the army for hurting the country's move toward democracy, an American priority when Biden served as vice president under Barack Obama.
Demonstrators vowed to keep up the pressure against last week's military coup, even after a woman was shot and critically wounded during clashes.
"Whats made us different is our willingness, our ability to confront these challenges with full transparency," the secretary of state said.
Protesters denounced the military coup and demanded the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
There have been recent and serious concerns about Myanmar, also known as Burma, backsliding into authoritarianism.
