The Shan Human Rights Foundation reports that the Burma Army conscripted porters, shot indiscriminately into a village and detained over 50 elderly people, women and children during “clearance operations” near the Upper Yeywa dam site in northern Shan State. Local villagers are strongly opposed to the Upper Yeywa dam.
In southern Shan State, Burma Army troops and local militia conducted security raids across five townships, arbitrarily tortured and arrested villagers, looted and ransacked property.
