Myanmar Army soldiers are going extremely brutal in Sagaing Division, the area of the strongest Burmese resistance against illegal military coup, killing and raping and mutilating the local populace.

One of the worst incidents recently was in the village of Tar Tine on March 1. Nearly 70-strong Myanmar Army mobile column from the notorious 99^th Division coming along the River Irrawaddy landed at the Tar Tine Village by the confluence of Mu and Irrawaddy rivers in the early morning of March 1 and immediately raided the sleeping Burmese village.

The soldiers captured 15 villagers including the village PDF leader Kyaw Zaw and three young women. They then tortured and chopped Kyaw Zaw into multiple pieces right there in the village. They then took the rest 14 along with them and later raped and killed and mutilated all the hostages.

After gang-raping and killing the young women the soldiers even left their exposed vaginas stuffed with onions and other foreign stuff. The soldiers also chopped the heads of young men and hanged them from the road-side trees.
