Junta’s troops shoot and kill a local man who tried to escape arrest
February 17, 2025
HURFOM: On February 13th, 2025, the 96th Light Infantry Battalion attempted to arrest a local man at home in Ma Log Chaung village, Kyike Hto Township, Mon State.
The junta claimed 50-year-old U Kyaw Aung tried to run away and was shot and killed.
“U Aung Kyaw didn’t know why they came to arrest him. He did nothing wrong. He’s just a farmer. The junta’s troops just recklessly arrested and killed him. This type of incident occurs very frequently in Kyike Hto,” said a local source.
The junta took the dead body of U Aung Kyaw with them. Family members requested the body be returned, but the junta has ignored the request.
According to local people, the 96th Light Infantry Battalion has frequently launched indiscriminate artillery attacks despite there being no armed clashes in the area, and they often arbitrarily arrest villagers.
According to the report by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) as of February 13th, 2025, the junta has killed at least 6,278 civilians since the attempted coup began in February 2021.
