Four youth shot, one dead in Kyike Hto

HURFOM: On May 28th, 2024, the security forces of the military junta shot four young men, and one is now dead, according to the local sources.  The young men are from Kaw Sa Nine Ward, Kyike Hto Town, Mon State.

During a patrol, junta’s forces encountered four young men having a drink in the evening in their ward. The security forces shot them and 29-year-old Ko Soe Moe Oo was shot in the neck and died.

“The young men were having a drink beside the road. Upon seeing a military patrol truck, they run away. That is when they were shot. The one who was shot died as soon as he arrived at the Kyike Hto Hospital,” said an official from a local rescue team.

The junta informed Ko Soe Moe Oo’s family to bring back his body on May 29th and the body was cremated on May 30th.

“He was a construction worker. His mother had passed away and he lived with his elder sister. He isn’t a bad guy. All of them are calm and peaceful,” said a resident from Kaw Sa Nine Ward.

The other three young men were arrested and detained at the Kyike Hto City Police Station after the incident and released on May 29th.

According to the Association for the Assistance Political Prisoners (AAPP), at least 5,161 civilians have been killed by junta’s forces as of May 30th, 2024.
