“They went to stay at their orchard for some time. They just came back. The junta seemed to be observing them. Junta troops came and forcibly abducted the family as soon as they arrived. As the junta troops beat and abducted them, we could hear the sound of the daughter crying. We didn’t know the reason for the abduction”, said a resident.
Also, on the 10th of December, among seven youths were abducted in the wards of Dawei. Five were detained at Dawei Myoma Police Station and two were still being interrogated by the District Investigation Unit.
