A resident of Kanpyin village in Taungup Township was reportedly forced into hiding as the Myanmar military raided his home.
Some 50 members of the military raided Ko Aung Kyaw Naing’s house on July 10, accusing him of raising funds for the Arakan Army (AA).
“The junta soldiers attempted to capture me and accused me of raising funds for the Arakan Army. My wife and I were on the farm when the Myanmar military raided my home. I have never collected money for any organisation,” Ko Aung Kyaw Naing told DMG.
“I dare not stay at home and have gone into hiding since the military’s raid. Together with the youths, I did philanthropic activities in the past. I have never collected money for any organisation,” he reiterated.
The Myanmar military and the Arakan Army have largely observed an unofficial ceasefire since November 2020. But a handful of clashes have taken place between two sides in recent months amid rising regional tensions.
The military arrested at least 50 locals in Sittwe, Kyauktaw, Ponnagyun and Mrauk-U townships last month, after the Arakan Army detained 14 junta soldiers and police personnel.
