Three young men arrested in Thaton

HURFOM: On September 30^th, 2025, 22-year-old Oak Kar Kyaw, 17-year-old Khant Thu Aung and 16-year-old Aung Thu Zin, all from Paw Daw Mu village, Thaton Township, Mon State were arrested by a junta patrol team while sitting at a public pavilion in the village.

“It’s about 6:20 pm. The three young men were sitting in the pavilion and a van arrived. They were dragged into the van. Family members tried to call their sons, but their phones had been turned off. Their uncle went to the police station. If they are in the police station, it’s manageable. If there aren’t three, nothing can be done,” said a resident.

However, the 22-year-old Oak Kar Kyaw was recently released, continued the source.

“The junta’s soldier recruitment team arrested them. While family members tried to get their beloved ones released, the army replied only one could be released. Oak Kar Kyaw was released in the morning of October 1^st,” explained the source.

HURFOM was informed that the remaining two teenagers are being detained at the Thaton Town Police Station.

Four months ago, the junta formed “soldier recruitment teams” in Thaton Township which have been arresting young men and sending them to the 9^th Military Training School in Thaton Township.   Increasingly young men are being arrested, detained and then forced into military services as conscripts.
