Mr. Nai Lam Pyart, from “Mon Kyae Lai”
Mon traditional drama performance group, died after the abuses was committed
with a suspicion he was attempting to rape a performance girl, accordingly the

“Nai
Lam Pyart died in Moulmein (Mawlamyine –
named by the regime) hospital after Thanbyuzyat
hospital’s medical workers could not treat the injuries and brought him there
on July 29,” the source said.
“Nai
Lam Pyart was about 40 years old and was seriously
beaten by the group of police and some MI in lodging after he attempted to rape
a performance girl from his native village, Htin-yuu Thanpyuzayat Township,” the source added.
Before the case happened, Nai Lam Pyart and the drama
performance girl went to Moulmein, the capital of Mon State, for a registration to join drama performance in the
coming summer season at the Burmese military regime’s Dramatic Art Council
according to the source.
“The case happened on the
way they went back to their village. The time they came back from Moulmein is very dark late at night, it is too late to go
back their village and so they decided to stay a night at Thanpyuzayat’s
train station lodging house where the case happened,” said the source.
Such serious beating and
killing by the polices also happened to a villager
from Mudon Township who was accused robbing of a famous Burmese Actress,
Nandar
Hlaing. He finally
died in October 2002 after the beating in the police station. However, no
action to the polices who committed in crimes were
taken by the higher authorities of SPDC or military commanders.
