BANGKOK: The army has killed 30 people in a village in Myanmar, burning their bodies in vehicles and abusing them. Myanmar was overthrown by the military in a coup last February. People are fighting against this. In order to suppress them, the army has been firing indiscriminately, despite international warnings. So far it has killed more than 1500 protesters and innocent people.
In addition, dissidents have been arrested, imprisoned, tortured and killed. In this case, there is a village called Mo Cho in the eastern province of Gaya in Myanmar. Residents surrounded the area last Friday night and shot dead more than 30 people, including soldiers, women and children. Later, their bodies were dumped in vehicles and set on fire.
Officials from the Kareni Human Rights Commission said, “People from the village of Mo Cho fled to the refugee camp in the west to escape the fighting between the army and the rebel forces. Then, they were arrested by the soldiers and taken away. Later, they tied their hands and feet and shot them. Their bodies were put in vehicles, poured petrol and cremated. ‘ The sight of corpses being cremated in vehicles is spreading fast on social networking sites around the world. International organizations such as the United Nations and the United States and India have strongly condemned the atrocities committed by the Myanmar military. At the same time, some newspapers in Myanmar reported that all those killed were members of rebel forces opposed to the military.
* Many more from Mo Cho village are missing. Their status is unknown.
* The death toll is suspected to be more than 30.
