Myanmar Army tortures and kills motorbike repair man in Arakan


A resident, named Ko Zaw Gree ,  lived in Lake Sin Pyin village, Mrauk U township, the lost Arakan to Myanmar and made living from motorbike repair , went to town to buy forks on April 29, 2020.

By the time Ko Zaw Gree arrived Ngwe Taung buik check point , Myanmar soldiers based in Mrauk U ( Light Infantry Battalion 377) arrested him at 4 PM. His family overheard about his arrest one hour later and  rushed to LIB 377  to know whereabouts of him but  all their efforts were in vain.

In the morning of  April 30, 2020, family became to know that body of Ko Zaw Gree was in the Mrauk U  hospital for autopsy exam. His entire body had many marks of stabbed, beaten, swollen and wounded. It was not easy to recognize him, said family.

Mrauk U charity workers told media that they were asked to transport  the corpse from LIB 377 to hospital by the town police. During the 2019s,  15 Arakanese people were also killed under the detention of Myanmar Army. This killer and murder LIB 377 alone killed half dozen Arakanese people.

It was unfair and very much inhuman that Myanmar Army tortured and killed  Ko Zaw Gree who is ordinary man, making living from motorbike repair. He had left behind a three years old daughter.
