Activists slam government groups over attack
Human rights activists in Burma have condemned local officials and Union
Solidarity members in Irrawaddy Division's Henzada township over
Wednesday's attack on two men.
Rights activists Ko Myint Naing and Ko Maung Maung Lay were savagely
bashed by a group of about 100 people yesterday when they tried to leave
Oat Pho village in Henzada after participating in a human rights awareness
campaign.
Other activists who were also in the village on Wednesday said the mob
that bashed the two men was made of officials from the Henzada Peace and
Development Council, top police officers and the head of the township's
Union Solidarity and Development Association.
"Henzada's USDA secretary U Nyunt Oo was there with a walkie-talkie in his
hand. He was shouting through that thing, praising everyone who beat them
up. The township chairman and the police chief were there as well and the
unlawful attack took place right before them. They are the culprits behind
this," U Myint Aye, an activist who was in the nearby Talokehtaw village
at the time, told DVB.
The two men were taken to a hospital in Henzada for surgery after the
attack before being transferred to Rangoon General Hospital's neurological
department where they are still receiving treatment for their injuries.
"When I saw them . . . Ko Myint Naing was unable to talk. He couldn't
answer any of my questions. Ko Maung Maung Lay was moaning in pain from
his wounds," U Myint Aye said.
"Slingshot bruises were all over his body. There was one about four
inch-long slash wound on his leg. I don't know whether it was from a stick
of some kind of blade," he said.
Henzada USDA officials claimed yesterday to know nothing about the attacks
and local police insisted that Ko Myint Naing and Ko Maung Maung Lay
received only superficial injuries during the incident.
THE JUNTA SAYS THAT THEY ARE BUILDING A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY BUT NO BODY IS
ALLOWED TO TALK. WHAT SORT OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY IS THIS JUNTA TRYING TO
CREATE. THIS IS BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP. WORSE THAN NAZI GERMANY. THIS SORT OF
TREATMENT TO THE PEOPLE IS TOTALLY UN-ACCEPTABLE IN ANY BODY'S LANGUAGE !!!.
