Villagers Wounded by SPDC and DKBA
Soldiers and Landmines
This is a partial list of villagers wounded or injured by the regular SPDC soldiers, the
Sa Thon Lon and the DKBA in Nyaunglebin and Papun Districts. These incidents have been
described in the interviews and field reports collected for this report. Many of them have
been corroborated by several interviews and field reports. There are 190 people on this
list who have been injured since 1998, but it is important to emphasise that this list is
far from complete and that the real number is much higher, perhaps double or triple this
amount. This list does not include the hundreds of people who have suffered illnesses or
been injured in accidents caused by having to flee their villages or the actions of the
SPDC within the villages. The time it takes to travel to the areas and obtain the
information means that there are few accounts of injuries in the last few months; this
does not reflect a decrease in the rate but simply the difficulty in obtaining reliable
information. Under ‘Twp.’ (Township), M = Mone, K = Kyauk
Kyi, S = Shwegyin, Nyaunglebin District; L = Lu Thaw, D = Dweh Loh, B
= Bu Tho, Papun District; and R = Rangoon Division. Under ‘Source’,
FR indicates Field Reports from KHRG field reporters and ‘Ix’
indicates interviews with villagers, ‘x’ being the interview
number used in the report. Full texts of the interviews and field reports are available
upon approved request as an Annex to this report.
