Number of Myanmars tortured and killed in inhuman way by
Yodaya along Myanmar-Yodaya border inestimable
Press conference explains inhuman tortures, murders of Yodaya army
and its collusion with SURA and KNU
YANGON, 30 May -A .
press conference was held to explain giving permission to the SURA
drug-trafficking terrorist insurgents and KNU terrorist insurgents
to base in Yodaya territory and to launch attacks on the Tatmadaw
outposts and Wa camps in collusion with the Yodaya anny and the
accusing Myanmars working in Yodaya as spies of Myanma
Tatmadaw and the Yodaya army's inhuman tactics to torture and murder
them.
The press conference
which was held at Tatmadaw Guest House on Inya Road at 1.40 pm today
was at- tended by Minister for Labour U Tin Winn, Vice Chief of
Military Intelligence Maj-Gen Kyaw Win, Deputy Minister for Foreign
Affairs U Khin Maung Win, Deputy Minister for Information Brig-Gen
Aung Thein, Brig-Gen Khin Aung Myint of the Ministry of Defence,
senior military officers, heads of department, officials of News and
Peri- odicals .Enterprise of the Ministry of Information, U Sein Win
of Kyodo news agency, Patron of Myanmar Foreign Correspondents Club
U Hla Htway, Secretary U Nyunt Tin and members and guests.
General Staff
(Officer) of the Ministry of Defence Lt-Col Min Lwin quoted the
Yodaya news agencies as saying that the matter concerning the joint
attacks launched by SURA drug- trafficking terrorist insurgents and
Yodaya army troops in reality was just the armed conflicts between
the ethnic races in
 Myanmar;
and that the Yodaya army had never accepted or helped any terrorist
insurgent group. He said the Yodaya Channel 11 broadcast a news
report at 6.30 pm on 29 May, saying that the Yodaya Prime Minister
Thaksin called a special meeting on the issue of Myanmar- Yodaya
problem; that Foreign Affairs Minister of Yodaya Surakiart told the
: meeting that Myanmar was required to accept and trust
the policy of the Yodaya government; and that it was no other
than the fact that Yodaya had never given encouragement to the
ethnic armed groups. Lt-Col Min Lwin said the statement made by
Yodaya is untrue. Yodaya has permitted the SURA drug-trafficking
terrorist insurgents and KNU
terrorist insurgents to
se e In its territory. Yodaya army and police were recruiting new
members for the two terrorist groups, conducting training courses
for them and providing arms and ammunition to the two groups. There
are obvious incidents in which the Yodaya army was found to be In
collusion with the SURA oplum-trafficking terrorist insurgents when
they launched attacks on the Tatmadaw out- posts and Wa camps.
The SURA headquarters is located at Lwetailyan (map
reference: X-845889) in Yodaya territory. There are one officers
training school, one training school. for recruits, one arm repair work
shop, one hospital, 400 houses and about 1,300 family members at the
headquarters. Lwetailyan was surrounded by 37 small camps. The SURA
camps including Memaw camp (estimate map refer- ence: LU-5495),
Nantpeinlein camp (estimate map reference: LX-8579), Pein-lon camp
(estimate map reference: LY -4482) and Minena camp (estimate map
reference: LY -7589 are all located in the Yodaya territory .Amedical
training school has been opened at Minena camp. It is learnt that four
foreign doctors and one Yodaya doctor have stayed at the camp and given
lectures at the school. In the second week of June 1999, a high-level
local official and a tactical operations commander of Yodaya army,
accompanied by Yodaya police for the sake of security, arrived at Minena
, camp in four cars. They spoke words of encouragement to SURA
drug-trafficking terrorist insurgents and visited the barracks and the
training school.
Yodaya is providing nine pyis of Yodaya rice
and five tins of canned fish to individual SURA terrorists at the Minena
camp every month. There is also a Yodaya police station at Minena
village. The Yodaya police frequently visit the SURA camps. Before the
SURA drug-trafficking terrorist insurgents and Yodaya army , troops
,launched a joint attack on the Tatmadaw outpost at Panmaisun on 20 May
2002, about 400 Yodaya troop& and SURA members were stationed at
Litatmwe village of SURA camp (estimate map reference: LU -6759) and
Memaw (estimate map reference: LU-5459) and 100 Yodaya soldiers arrived
at Maheintet SURA camp and stationed themselves there together with the
SURA.
SURA drug-trafficking terrorist insurgents and about
100 Yodaya soldiers together with six tanks and 20 chained carriers are
still stationed at Yodaya army camp in Yodaya territory opposite
Panmaisun and Nyaunnon outposts. At about 7 pm on 26 May, three trucks
of Yodaya army arrived at a SURA camp of Ywet Sit at Dwiethtaiklan. The
trucks trans- ported the SURA drug-traf- ticking terrorist insurgents to
a place near BP-I at the Myanmar- Yodaya border.
He added that all the central committee members of
KNU includinl Bo Mya are living in Maesot. The members are living under
the assumed name of refugees at 39 refugee camps including Meyamo,
Bekalot, Wheh kalok, Mawke, Ohnphyan and Nobo camps. The Yodaya army and
police are providing protection to all these so-called refugee camps.
The KNU terrorist insurgents, while living under the assumed name of
refugees at the camps conceal their weapons at the nearby villages. They
usually come out from the refugee camps to fire at Tatmadaw border
outposts and towns and villages and plant mines in Myanmar territory
.The insurgents are living on the dole of foreign countries under the
guise of refugees.
Lt-Col Min Lwin then dealt with how Myanmars working
in Yodaya are accused of being spies of Myanma Tatmadaw and tortured and
killed in an inhuman way by the Yodaya army. On 17 May 2002, the Yodaya
anriy aITested five Myanmars working at
Wanpha village in Yodaya territory opposite Kokko village. The Myanmars came to Yodaya territory from Kokko village in Myanmar territory on the opposite bank of the Yodaya village. The Yodaya soldiers confined the five Myanmars at the Yodaya police station at estimate O-294352 under the command of Yodaya border police captain Phukaunghmi. The Yodaya soldiers accused them as spies sent by the Myanmar Tatmadaw, and tortured them. The Yodaya soldiers killed two of the five Myanmars in an inhuman way at estimate O-291352 in Yodaya territory between Thebon and Wankhathit on 27 May.
Of the remaining three Myanmars, Yodaya soldiers took Than Soe Win, 25, son of U Gadon, Phyuwa village, Paung Township, to Thaungyin River bank in Yodaya territory between Yekyaw and Kokko at about 8 pm on 28 May. The Yodaya solders tied Than Soe Win, kicked him into the river and shot at him. Fortunately, he sustained only minor injuries at the right ear and right side of the neck. He arrived at Kokko village at 9 am on 29 May. He was sent to the People's Hospital in Myawady from Kokko village.
 When Than Soe Win, who got injuries and escaped, was asked in connection with the matter in detail, he said that he was born of U Gadon (deceased) and Daw Win in Phyuwa Village, Paung Township, Mon State, and has five siblings including him; he left Paung in about April, 2001, and worked as a casual worker in Maesot on the other bank of Myawady; he got a six-month work-permit; when his work-permit expired, he returned to Kokko Village for fear that he might be arrested by Yodaya police; at that village, he worked as a casual worker; on 11 May, he went to Wanpha Village in the Yodaya territory on the other side of Kokko Village and worked on a farm as a daily-wage earner; at about 11.30 am on 17 May, he was arrested by a patrol of Yodaya army; he was taken to a Yodaya camp which is about 20
minutes' drive from the border of Yodaya on the other bank of Kokko Village; in the evening, three Myanmar workers were arrested and taken to the camp; all of them were Kayin nationals; a person called Hla Htoo was from Kyaikmaraw and the other two were from Kawkareik; On the morning of May 25, a worker from Hpa-an was arrested and taken to the camp; they were kept in a lock-up, which was ten feet square and three feet high in the compound of the Yodaya camp; they were asked to dig bunkers and to do tiring work; they were given only insufficient amount of food.
The five Myanmar workers including Than Soe Win were accused of being spies sent by Myanmar and given electric shock; though asked about the army camps and movement of DKBA
on the bank of Myanmar, they could not answer the questions, as they did
not know the matter; so, they were severely tortured. At about 8 pm on
27 May, two out of five Kayin national Hla Htoo who lived in Kyaikmaraw and the one who lived in Hpa-an Ñ were taken by a car, and were killed in an inhuman way between Thebon and Wankha-thit on the bank of Yodaya.
At about 8 pm on 28 May, Than Soe Win was taken alone from the lock-up to the bank of the Thaungyin river by car; then, the hands of Than Soe Win were tied with his longyi and kicked into the river; afterwards, Yodaya troops fired into the water, and Than Soe Win was floating along the current by playing dead; the Yodaya troops left the site, thinking that he was dead; Than Soe Win got wounded on the right ear and nape of the neck; he also got injuries on the right of the lip and on the arm, back and chest.
The number of Myan-mars who were tortured and killed in an inhuman way by Yodaya along the Myanmar-Yodaya border is inestimable.
Yodaya TV and broadcasting stations are reporting that Yodaya does not accept or support national race terrorist insurgents who are opposing the Myanmar government; but, SURA opium-trafficking terrorist insurgents and KNU terrorist insurgents have been allowed to be stationed in the Yodaya territory; Yodaya army units are also supporting them; when SURA opium-trafficking terrorist insurgents and KNU terrorist insurgents attacked the Tatmadaw outposts, and Wa and DKBA camps, Yodaya forces participated in the attack; Myanmar workers in Yodaya have been accused of being spies of the Myanmar Tatmadaw and killed in an inhuman way.
Then, Vice-Chief of Military Intelligence Maj-Gen Kyaw Win gave an additional account of what Lt-Col Min Lwin already had explained.
Minister U Tin Winn, Maj-Gen Kyaw Win and Lt-Col Min Lwin replied to the
queries raised by the journalists. After the Press conference, the
journalists viewed the maps showing the so-called refugee camps where
KNU terrorist insurgents and KNU/Yodaya are stationed and the camps of
SURA in the Yodaya territory.
