Army, 26 September 2009
On September 26, 2009, at 2p.m., Burma Army soldiers came and fired into a
villager's farm hut outside of Baw Kee village. Eight hours later people came
to check the hut and found the bodies of two men killed in the attack. The two
men killed are Saw Win Thein, 40 years old, from Ta U Kee village, and Doung
Nyo, 26 years old, from Noh Ber Baw village. Saw Win Thein is the father of
five children and Doung Nyo is the father of a 3-month old son. Doung Nyo was
an FBR Thaton District team member from 2004 to 2006, until he was called by
his leaders to head up his township administration office.
The Burma Army soldiers responsible for the killings are from Military Operations
Command (MOC) 11, Light Infantry Battalion 220, from Mae Pray Kee.
God bless you,
