Villagers are forced to give
wooden poles for a Burmese Army’s new battalion, which deploys in Khaw-zar village, in southern Ye Township,
“Each house has to give 10 leaves for roofing the
barracks and every two houses have to give a wooden pole. Our Yin-dein villagers are also forced to give to Infantry
Battalion No.31,” said
“The IB No. 31 soldiers ordered that they wanted these
materials quickly and they also forced other villagers in building the
barracks. The soldiers planed to complete the construction at the end of this
month. They started building it after
they confiscated 250 acres of lands without payment outside Khaw-zar
village since early this month,”
IB No.31 army commanders
gathered 40 landowners in early this month and forced them to sign agreement of
offering their lands even though they disagreed and did not receive any
compensation, according to landowners.
“In the army commanders
gathered us, told us that they are going to allow us to collect fruits from the
orchid plantations for 5 years. We also had to sign for it,” a landowner
”Burmese military regime planned to deploy one Artillery
Regiment here in order to control the whole area and lunch military offensives
against the Mon rebel group (Hongsarwatoi Restoration
Party),” according to a village headman.
At the
moment, the No. 3 Tactical Command under the command of No.19
Military Operation Management Command based at the Khaw-zar
village deploys for temporary military base in each village in the area,
accordingly to villagers.
In large villages in the area, the regime also planned to
deploy police stations and some villages started building stations.
Because of the regime’s positional warfare and military
operations, the regular fighting happened between the Burmese Army and Mon
rebel.
In this area of southern Ye Township of Mon State, both
the members of Burmese Army and Mon rebel group have consistently violated the
human rights violations such as killing, rape, force labor and others against
the villagers.
