SHAN STATE – Local sources reported that Min Aung Hlaing, the war criminal leader of the terrorist junta council, is attending the funeral of Twin Dragons Monk in Tachileik.
He reportedly arrived in the evening of April 3 to attend the funeral of the monk who passed away at the Twin Dragons Monastery in Sansai (Ka) Ward, Tachileik.
