Myanmar soldiers beat Arakanese shrimp farmer unconscious

 


A convoy of 200 Myanmar troops marched to the Chitponma village under the Ann township in Arakan, western Myanmar, at about 16 hours on 13/11/2020. It is learned that they came in and harassed villagers by force of arms.

 

After a raid on every house in the village, a shrimp farmer was taken from his shrimp pond to the village hall. The poor shrimp farmer Kyaw Nu Maung, aged 48, was tied to a pole of Village Hall with a rope. Then he was knocked unconscious by soldiers of Myanmar Army, leaving him alone in the hall. The poor shrimp famer was later found abandoned and unconscious by villagers who were taking him as soon as possible to nearby medical central.

 

When Myanmar troops were about to leave the village, an abbot monk from the village monastery requested them to return back the telephones and currencies of villagers seized by Myanmar soldiers during raiding every house in the village. But only they returned back a few telephones and left the village and caused villagers to remain in resentment.  

Social worker Ko Myo from Ann township confirmed about the persecution of Myanmar soldiers when Narinjara News – Arakan main media− contacted  him on phone.
