Two village leaders from Kyaukpru Township in Arakan State were killed after being arrested by police from a hiding place in the township, reported their colleague who recently arrived at the western border of Burma.
He said, "My friends Maung Ba Tin and Maung Saw Han were recently killed by a police force from the Myo Chaung police station soon after they were arrested from an abandoned place in Kyaukpru Township."
The victim Maung Ba Tin was 30 years old and hailed from Long Chaung Village, while the other victim, Maung Saw Han, was 42 years old and hailed from Mon Byint Village in Kyaukpru Township.
They were arrested and killed by police for leading people in village tract number seven, in southern Kyaukpru, during the Saffron Revolution protests in September 2007.
"The incident was known by everybody in the area and they had to kill them six months after the Saffron Revolution. They were hiding in the jungle after the Saffron Revolution due to fear of arrest by authorities," he said.
The killing was committed by Police Sergeant Tin Win Shwe from Myo Chaung police station, and they were killed on an embankment in Myo Chaung Village after being severely tortured by police.
The family members of the victims have not had the chance to complain about the murder to the township court of Kyaukpru because police have barred them from leaving the village to do so, the colleague added.
