“The Interim People’s Judicial Development Committee’s member ministries have a lot of work to do and are challenging to manage on the ground.

4. About 15,000 internally displaced people from the Htan Kone and Zee Kone areas of Kanbalu Township are in desperate need of help
The Kyunhla-Kanbalu activists group reported on February 18 that about 15,000 internally displaced people in the Htan Kone and Zee Kone areas of Kanbalu Township are in desperate need of help, as follows:
“On February 17, around 7:30 a.m., a combined force of about 120 members of the 368th Infantry Battalion and military-backed Pyu Saw Htee militia who had spent the night in Inn Lel Gyi village in Kanbalu Township’s Htan Kone area opened fire with heavy weapons and small arms indiscriminately to the southeast of the village before heading towards the villages of Thayet Tar and Ingar Daunt. At about 10:30 a.m. [on the same day], the said military column brutally burned and killed two innocent male civilians, ages 22 and 32, in a tent in the forest near Kine Yoe village. A 15-year-old underage boy and a 20-year-old woman from Inn Lel Gyi village were reportedly also abducted by the above-mentioned military column to be used as human shields; it is still unknown whether or not they were ever released.”
Due to the invasion of that military column and Pyu Saw Htee militia, about 15,000 residents from 18 villages in the Htan Kone and Zee Kone areas, including Inn Lel Gyi village and Thayet Tar village, are fleeing, according to the Kyunehla-Kanbalu activist group.
