The residents of Khin-U Township, Sagaing Region, staged a protest against the failure of an ex-convict to adhere to the judgement of the court on Monday.
Three years ago, Judge Myint Chit Kyaw sentenced Kyaw Naing to one year in prison for violating Section 417 of the Penal Code by raping an underage girl who was deaf and mute. The court also ordered him to give a plot of land to the girl as compensation in a civil suit. Kyaw Naing has been squatting on the land he gave as compensation since he was released from prison.
Local residents incensed by his behaviour staged a protest and called for immediate justice for the violated party.
“We received a land plot as compensation by the court’s judgement. But Kyaw Naing has trespassed into it since he was released. We have filed a case against him. We want the land back,” said the mother of the girl. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
