Burma Army soldiers led by Major Nyunt Win Hlaing from Light Infantry Battalion #62 under Military Operation Command (MOC) #19 and based in Ka Nae Lay, Waw Lay and Mawkee villages were used to threaten villagers operating a sawmill.
The villagers said the gunshots were fired when the officer demanded a ton of timber and the villagers refused.
Villagers told Karen News that the sawmill operators had already given Major Nyunt Win Hlaing 10 tons of logs as he demanded and villagers said that they couldn’t afford his order for an additional ton.
A villager from the area who asked not to be named told Karen News that the threats and gunshots took place on May 31st, 2016. (Courtesy of karennews.org)
