Burma Army Accused of Killing, Burning Bodies of Shan Villagers

According to Kachin and Shan community leaders, the Burma Army is responsible for killing and burning the bodies of several villagers in northern Shan State.

Sai Tun Win, a state lawmaker with the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), said that on a recent visit to the Kyaukme area, he found at least eight burned corpses and that local Shan people had accused the Burma Army of the killings.

“We found three dead bodies—from Noung Kwan village—in one area and another five bodies in separate locations in and around Wow Long village,” Sai Tun Win said. (Courtesy of irrawaddy.com)
