A 21 years old young man from Kam Hton Gyi sub-town under  Meabon township was hospitalized with injuries  after the security forces released him.

Ko Gyi was initially admitted at Kam Thon Gyi circuit hospital  as he was bleeding through his noose informed his colleague Ko Aung Win Myint.

Both the young men were arrested by a column of Myanmar Army  while they were returning back to their native place from Sa Nyin IDP camp on a motorbike at around 6 pm on 29 January.

“After detaining us, the soldiers asked  many questions. Ko Gyi was tortured during the interrogation. By 11 pm, we were released and returned home. Soon Ko Gyi was hospitalized,” added  Ko Aung Win Myint.

As Ko Gyi was not keeping well even after preliminary medications, he was shifted to Sittwe general hospital on 31 January.

“He is still facing the problem of blood loss through his nose. The

doctor advised for an  x-ray report. Now we are waiting for the report about his injuries,” said his friend.

U Pe Than, a representative of the Parliament from Meabon township confirmed the incident and informed that he was collecting more information about it.

Narinjara tried to contact with the army spokesperson for further details, but his telephone went on ringing without any response.
