Dissident radio says more military officers purged

Source: Democratic Voice of Burma, Oslo, in Burmese 1245 gmt 25 Oct 99


Excerpts from report by Burmese opposition radio on 25th October

It has been learned that more military officers are being purged in the
Coastal Region Military Command
in southern Burma.

After the removal from office of Coastal Region Military commander Maj-Gen
Sit Maung, the SPDC
[State Peace and Development Council] has recalled to Rangoon Col Win
Maung, chairman of the
Kawthaung District Peace and Development Council, and Capt Kyaw Zwa, head
of the
Kawthaung-based Military Intelligence Unit 19, who are supposedly
protecting all the economic
interests of Maj-Gen Sit Maung in Kawthaung District. Business people from
Kawthaung said their
sudden summonses could be linked to Maj-Gen Sit Maung's activities but it
is not clear whether they
would also be removed or transferred.

Some business people said the SPDC took action against Col Win Maung and
Capt Kyaw Zwa for
their alleged involvement in black-marketeering along Kawthaung-Ranong
route, their financial dealings
with Thai fishing boats, and taking bribes from Thai fishing companies
after the closure of Thai-Burma
border crossings.

It has been learned that their replacements - a captain from the
Palaw-based Military Intelligence Unit
19 and a colonel who is the chairman of a district peace and development
council - have already arrived
in Kawthaung...

As Thai naval vessels patrol the Thai waters near the Thai-Burma
territorial border, the Burmese navy
has also dispatched naval vessels Nos 509 and 438 to patrol the Burmese
waters off Kawthaung.
