NSS – Aug 7

PDF terrorists from the Gantgaw brigade under the command of the exile NUG admitted that they killed a presiding Buddhist monk from Htilin Township, Magway Region, according to the statement released by the Gantgaw PDF brigade. 

It is stated that two PDF members of the Gantgaw raided the Buddhist monastery located in the West village of Htilin Township and shot the presiding monk U Vi Seikta on 3rd August at an estimated 11 am.

However, the NUG-controlled Gantgaw PDF brigade stated that the murder was committed by those two PDFs from the Gantgaw brigade.     

A total of nearly 80 Buddhist monks were killed in the ongoing crisis that has been happening since 2021.

The State Administration Council, on the one hand, isn’t able to control such extrajudicial killings. On the other hand, terrorist groups do not stop committing such arbitrary killings.
