Junta forces took the wife and 20-day-old baby of a protest leader hostage in Mudon, Mon State on Wednesday night.
A large number of security forces, accompanied by two informants, were searching for anti-regime activists in Mudon. Their targets included U Than Win, who has been at the forefront of the resistance movement against the military regime in the town.
“Security forces came in separate groups around 9pm on Wednesday to search for activists. U Than Win was not at his home at the time. He has been in hiding. There were three people at U Than Win’s house: his wife, their son and the newborn baby. The security forces took away his wife who had only just given birth and the baby,” said a Mudon resident.
