RFA Decomposing bodies discovered in the jungle in Kani township, in Myanmar s remote Sagaing region, July 13, 2021.
The murder of more than a dozen people whose bodies exhibited signs of torture and were left to rot in a forest in Myanmar’s remote Sagaing region this week was carried out by troops loyal to the country’s junta and should be classified as a “war crime,” witnesses and a rights lawyer said Tuesday.
Residents of Sagaing’s Kani township, where fighting has raged between junta forces and a branch of the People’s Defense Force (PDF) militia in recent months, told RFA’s Myanmar Service that they found the hog-tied and severely beaten bodies of at least 15 people scattered in the jungle surrounding Yin and Kone Thar villages on Sunday and Monday, days after a government military unit left the area.
