Pa?an Interview: Saw P---, September 2011

Description: 

"This report contains the full transcript of an interview conducted during September 2011 in Dta Greh Township, Pa?an District by a community member trained by KHRG to monitor human rights conditions. The community member interviewed 31-year-old Saw P---, a hill field farmer from T--- village, who described the problems faced by T--- villagers as a result of Border Guard troops? activities in Dta Greh Township, specifically concerning their demands for food and the theft of villagers? livestock. He provided details of an incident that occurred in August 2011, in which a villager?s pig, worth approximately US $110, was shot and eaten without permission and furthermore no compensation was provided. Saw P--- also explained that the presence of KNLA troops in the area has led to a decrease in such incidents of theft, by serving to deter Border Guard soldiers from approaching T--- village when they are aware that KNLA troops are operating nearby."
