Burma Army tortures three farmers, and shoots one farmer in Mong Yen, northern Shan State<\/strong><\/p>\n

  1. Three villagers tortured for speaking loudly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On November 13, 2016, three villagers, including a 16-year-old boy, were badly beaten by Burma Army troops of LIB 119 in Wan Koong Pao, Ei Nai tract, Mong Yen area, Lashio district, northern Shan State.<\/p>\n

    On November 11, about 50 Burma Army troops from LIB 119, under Division 33, based in Mandalay, travelled from Wan Sarm Mong Mu, north of Lashio, by truck and stopped at Ei Nai, then walked about 10 miles to Mong Tawng, arriving at 6:00 pm then slept there for a night. On November 12, they started walking to Wan Koong Pao village and stayed in the village for a night.<\/p>\n

    On November 13, at about 8:00 am, several Burma Army troops standing guard around the village heard three farmers talking in one of the houses. The three villagers were Lung Hla Win (aged 64), Sai Nyunt (25) and Sai Tun (16). They were speaking loudly because Lung Hla Win is hard of hearing, and were talking about travelling to Mong Yen. The troops accused them of trying to inform Shan soldiers about the Burmese troops\u2019 movements so they could lay landmines along the route, and began beating them. They were released only when the headman of the village came and signed that they were villagers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
