Junta forces arrested a former cameraman of Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) at his house in Yangon’s Pazundaung Township on Sunday evening and sent him to an interrogation center.
“When I checked with Pazundaung police station, police told me that he was sent to Shwepyitha interrogation center this morning,” said a colleague of Ko Thura Soe.
According to witnesses, some ten junta troops came to their residential neighborhood about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, firing shots in the air.
“They went straight to his house and arrested him, saying they came to check for overnight guests,” said a resident of the neighborhood. Junta forces reportedly took his computer and other items from his house.
