An Innocent Civilian Recklessly Assassinated by So-called PDF Terrorists

     In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”. This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
     Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 2 January 2025 at 9:50 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead near Pway Na Phar Village in Ywarngan Township of Southern Shan State. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Zaw Htut (aka) Thar Nge Gyi (53 years old), a resident of Zay Tan Ward in Ywarngan Township. The investigation revealed that, while heading to a lake near Pway Na Phar Village, the victim was abducted by a so-called PDF terrorist group. Later, the terrorists took him to the Pway Na Phar junction on the Ywarngan-Nwar Ban Gyi road, where they shot him. As a result, the victim died on the spot, it is reported.
     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and assassination of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
