(Translation of Staff article from MYANMAR NOW MEDIA on 14 May 2024.)
In the early morning of May-11 more than 100 heavily-armed
Myanmar Soldiers raided the Burmese Village on the West bank of River Irrawaddy
and then entered the Vilage Monastery Hall for they knew very well that
frightened villagers had abandoned their homes and taken refuge inside.
Fearfull for his life a 37-year-old villager named Kan-Gaung immediately crawled underneath a low-bed nearby and tried to hide from the demonic Myanmar soldiers. He then heard the door-opening and saw the legs of Myanmar soldiers, some in ary uniform trousers and others in black jeans, entering the Monastery Hall.
