Arakanese
mother of a ten month old boy told local media that her son was shot dead by
Myanmar
soldiers on January 11, 2020 while her family was fleeing from Nyaung Kan village
of Myebon Township to Paw Taung village of Mrauk U Township by small motor
boat.
The poor
Arakanese mother along with almost all villagers and her husband and her son desperately
had to flee when Myanmar soldiers shelled on their village by supersonic jet
fighters after clashes with Arakan Army.
By the time
poor Arakanese mother with her husband and son approached Oun Taw village of Minbra
Township, Myanmar soldiers, from the small river bank, indiscriminately opened
fire them. One of bullet went through her ten month old baby boy from back to
belly causing to protrude intestine. Even if the couple waved their big and round
hats - made of thatch - from motor boat at Myanmar soldiers to recognize them as
an innocent family and villagers, Myanmar soldiers shot at them indiscriminately.
As soon as ten
month old baby boy was unfortunately shot by Myanmar soldiers, the couple
rush out of scene
to nearby medical central but the boy was killed instantly. It is learn
that Myanmar Army is killing Arakanese people including children and women
almost everyday in the
lost Arakan to Myanmar( western Myanmar) after Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi directed
her notorious and barbarous Myanmar Army ‘s chief Min Aung Haling to launch
military operation
against the Arakan Army – which is given birth to free Arakan from Myanmar by
Arakanese people – one year ago.
Now, Myanmar
Army has been launching military operation against the Arakan Army for over one
year. During the period of over one year, 180 people were killed by Myanmar
Army and injured 260 and over 500 arrested so far.
