In Madaya Township, Mandalay Region, a PDF comrade was arrested by the SAC troops and killed after being used as a human shield.
On April 8th, a PDF comrade was arrested near the Alpha cement factory in Mya Kanthar village while the SAC troops were burning down villages in Matara township. In the afternoon of April 23rd, in Aung Chan Thar village, it was reported that the Military abandoned his body with a Thway Thout (militia group under the SAC) tag attached to it.
“That child (PDF comrade) belongs to the MRF. He was arrested on the 8th. They (SAC troops) were marching to attack when he was arrested. The Military was going around with 15 vehicles. They were also attacked with landmines. That’s why they shot and killed the child who was arrested,” said Bo Nat Soe of the Nat Soe Underground Resistance Force.
