Myanmar Junta Kills 10 Civilians in Five Days: AAPP

November 1, 2021/in News

Myanmar’s junta atrocities are continuing with the murder of more than 10 civilians, including a Buddhist monk and National League for Democracy (NLD) supporters, over the past five days.

Regime forces have looted houses, destroyed property, bombarded civilians with artillery, burned down homes and arbitrarily killed civilians during operations against civilian resistance forces, especially in Magwe and Sagaing regions and Chin, Shan and Kayah states.

By Saturday, 1,222 people had been killed by junta forces since the February coup, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), which records deaths and arrests.

Last Thursday, the bodies of two NLD supporters, U San Lwin, 60, and U Kyaw Htay Aung, 50, were reportedly dumped by junta forces near the NLD office in Chanayethazan Township, Mandalay.

A photo was released of two bloody bodies lying beside a road in Mandalay.

The two victims were arrested with another NLD supporter, U Moe Gyi, 50, on Wednesday night, according to the AAPP.

The police retrieved the bodies and then reportedly asked family members to retrieve the corpses, according to the media.

Many torture injuries, including knife wounds, were found on the bodies, according to the AAPP.

A 25-year-old NLD member Ko Min Min Thu, also known as Mohammad Har Ni, from East Mawtone village in Tanintharyi Region, on Wednesday was tortured to death two days after being detained. He was seized at his home by regime forces last Monday.

On Thursday night, regime forces detained a married couple, U Myo Lwin and Daw San San Lwin, after failing to find their son who has been accused of being a People’s Defense Force (PDF) member.

U Myo Lwin was reportedly tortured to death during interrogation after the couple were accused of supplying the PDF, according to the media.

The AAPP said a Buddhist monk, U Kuthala, an assistant head of the monastery in Yinshae village, Yegyi Township in Ayeyarwady Region, was shot dead by regime forces last Tuesday while returning from shopping in Ngathaingchaung near Yegyi.

A novice monk was also injured in his ear during the junta shooting, the AAPP said.

On Thursday, former political prisoner Ko Kyaw Naing Tun, who was released from prison in Magwe Region in mid-October, was reportedly tortured to death by the regime after being detained again on Wednesday.

Another three civilians were shot dead by junta forces during raids on villages in Myaung, Budalin, and Khin-U townships in Sagaing Region on Sunday and Monday.

One or two displaced villagers were shot dead by the regime forces while returning home to fetch food at a village in Demoso Township, Shan State, on Sunday.

The Demoso PDF said junta forces burned down houses and randomly attacked villages and residential areas of Demoso on Sunday and Monday.

Troops burned harvested rice in Demoso on Saturday while advancing on neighboring Pekon Township in Shan State, the PDF said.

On Friday, troops bombarded the mountaintop town of Thantlang in Chin State. More than 160 houses, including two churches, burned down in junta artillery fire.

Except for Rakhine State, regime forces nationwide are facing increasingly intense attacks by civilian resistance forces and ethnic armed forces.

Bodies of two NLD supporters abducted by junta found dumped near party office in Mandalay

November 1, 2021/in News

A third man who was taken at the same time is still missing

The bloodied bodies of two National League for Democracy (NLD) supporters abducted by the military were found dumped on a roadside in Mandalay last week, while a third person who was detained with them is still missing.

San Lwin, 60, and Kyaw Htay Aung, 44, turned up dead near the NLD office in Chanayethazan Township on Friday after junta forces took them from their homes in Maha Aungmyay Township’s Thanyat Mhaw area two days earlier.

Moe Gyi, 50, was also taken from his home on the same street and his condition is unknown.

About five cars and two motorcycles arrived on the street in Thanyat Mhaw’s London ward around 10pm for the raid. “They broke into Moe Gyi’s house first, then two more vehicles arrived and arrested the remaining two,” said a local who requested anonymity.

The families of San Lwin and Kyaw Htay Aung collected their bodies from the morgue at Mandalay General Hospital, the local said, adding that it appeared as though a social services group must have picked up the bodies from the street to bring them to the morgue.

Both bodies had bruises and stab wounds, he added, citing the men’s family members. The families declined to comment when contacted by Myanmar Now.

Photos on social media showed the men’s bodies with their heads placed together lying near a pool of blood.

A source close to the men’s families told Myanmar Now that it is unclear why they were targeted.

“Their families still don’t know why they were even arrested in the first place,” said the source. “They were just regular supporters of the NLD party. It’s still not known what made them take such brutal action.”

Calls seeking comment from the No. 7 Police Station in Maha Aungmye went unanswered.

Kyaw Htay Aung was a former 100 household administrator and the owner of a mobile phone accessories shop. He was cremated at around 2pm on Friday. San Lwin was cremated the following day.

Kyaw Htay Aung left behind two young children and San Lwin left behind a teenage son.

In a similar incident late last month a 50-year-old NLD supporter named Pauk Gyi was abducted by junta forces from his home in Maha Aungmye’s Shan Wine ward at midnight. The next morning his body was found on a traffic island on Strand Road.

The junta has killed at least 1,220 civilians since the February 1 military coup, according to figures from the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners.
