Terrorist armed groups, using the guise of revolution, are unjustly accusing, arresting, and executing innocent civilians—actions that are utterly unacceptable. Such actions have been occurring frequently in recent days.
A video of the leader and his followers cutting off a man's head, limbs, and kicking the corpse's head has been circulating on social media since last December 3. The perpetrator is Ye Balue who is the leader of one of the PDF groups which is active in Mon State’s remote area, Ye Township.
According to one of the anti-government media, the National Unity Government (NUG) and its Ministry of Defence (MOD), the shadow groups which support terrorist PDF groups have stated that they will set up an investigation committee to look into the unlawful killing of a person by Ye Balue’s group.
It is reported that the person who was killed was U Khaung Phyu (aka) Zan Min, from Kandu village, Ye Township. This incident reportedly occurred in July.
It is said that U Khaung Phyu was arrested from his home on June 30 and the leader of Ye Balue’s group posted a video on his social media page on that day, showing the arrest along with the footage. In the video, U Khaung Phyu can be seen pleading for forgiveness.
Such atrocious and inhumane killing of prisoner by Ye Balue's group is utterly unacceptable. Every armed group must adhere to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, which contain the fundamental rules that limit the barbarity of war, especially if these groups claim to be fighting for peace and justice as well as the protection of people's lives.
The Ye Balue group threatens schoolteachers and children not to teach and learn, and to boycott the education every year; otherwise, they would kill and arrest the schoolteachers and heads of the schools located in nearby villages in Ye Township, or even they announce to set bomb the schools. The group’s intimidation against the education is also totally unacceptable.
