October 29, 2024

HURFOM: On October 20th, 2024, two members of the National League for Democracy (NLD) Party from In Kywell village, Thaton Township Mon State were arrested by the military junta.

Local villagers reported to HURFOM, that 44-year-old Saw Tar Tea and 42-year-old Saw Chit were accused of providing support to the People’s Defense Force, and a joint team of soldiers and the police arrested them at their houses, at 8 pm.

They’re former NLD members but they did nothing after the coup. They just earn their livelihood on the plantation peacefully,” said an Inn Kywell resident.

The arrested have been detained at the Thu Dhamma Wati Regional Police Station and were interrogated by junta forces. They are not allowed to meet with their family members as of October 25th.

Also in September, the junta arrested two young men from Inn Kywell village, accusing them of having ‘selfies’ wearing PDF uniforms on their mobile phones.

Since February 1, 2021, the military junta has sealed and seized more than 20 houses belonging to NLD members and the political activists.
