Villagers Killed by SPDC and DKBA
Soldiers and Landmines
This is a partial list of villagers directly killed by the regular SPDC soldiers, the Sa
Thon Lon and the DKBA in Nyaunglebin and Papun Districts. These killings 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 313 people on this
list who have been killed since 1998, but it is important to emphasise that this list is
far from complete and that the real death toll is much higher, perhaps double or triple
this amount. This list does not include the hundreds of people who have died of
starvation, disease or accidents caused by having to flee their villages or the actions of
the SPDC within the villages. The time it takes to travel to these areas and obtain the
information means that there are few accounts of killings in the last few months; this
does not reflect a decrease in the rate of killing 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.
