SAGAING DIVISION – Mr Bant Gyi, member of People’s administrative body (PAB), electricity section, from Salingyi Township was abducted by terrorizing junta troops and was taken to Monywa Interrogation center according to a protest activist from Salingyi.
The abduction happened on May 31 when the junta troops arrived in Nyaungpingyi Village, Salingyi Township and arrested Mr Bant Gyi together with three other citizens. The three citizens were released but Mr Bant Gyi was further taken from Nyaungpingyi Police Station to Monywa in the afternoon of June 3.
An activist who is from a protest group from Salingyi confirmed the above story and stated that Mr Bant Gyi met face to face with the junta troops who were bringing rations from Monywa to Wanbao Chinese mining company.
The terrorizing junta troops are used to torturing and killing the people who get detained. Hence their lives are in danger. The troops who took Mr Bant Gyi were also shooting randomly and reportedly injured a citizen below the knee.
