SAGAING DIVISION- An official from PDF Battalion-14 of Shwebo District stated that a policeman from the Kanhtooma Station joined the “People’s Embrace Programme” with weapons and ammunition.
On November 9, a policeman from Kanhtooma Station defected from the military as he could no longer stand the oppression of the Terrorist Military Council. With his G4 rifle and about 200 bullets, he reached out to PDFs and joined the People’s Embrace Programme.
“I am happy to be warmly welcomed by the PDFs even though I joined the program a bit late, to stand together with the people,” the defected policeman said.
“In the camp where he was from, they were like waiting for the time to die. Many of them are still unable to join CDM due to family problems and threats. As for our battalion, we promised to provide him as close as possible to what he wished for. There is also a rewarding plan,” said an official of Shwebo District Battalion-14.
Similarly, those who want to defect from the military can contact Shwebo District Battalion-14 where the defectors (police and soldiers) would be assisted, stated an official of PDF battalion 14.
