NAYPYITAW, 03 October 2021, (TON): Junta troops shot and killed a 26-year-old man in southeastern Myanmar’s Mon State this week, according to his relatives, who said that they were allowed only limited viewing of his body.
According to his family “the victim was Ye Naing Oo, resident of Khawzar town in Ye Township who, had recently been struggling with an undiagnosed mental illness.”
His sister Mi Cho Thet Oo told media “he left home on Wednesday morning and the family was notified at 7pm by police officials that he was dead.”
She said that officers from the Khawzar police station told her that Ye Naing Oo was shot and killed after he tried to run from the military’s Chaung Taung checkpoint on the Ye River bridge, some 18 miles from his home.
