In Kantaw, one Pyu Saw Htee brought a woman and surrendered to the revolutionary force, saying they will fight back against the military

Yangon, July 11 In Kantaw Township, Tanintharyi Region, a Pyu Saw Htee (militia member) brought a woman and surrendered to the revolutionary force, stating that he would fight back against the military, according to the Kantaw Township People's Defense Force (PDF). It is known that on July 5, a Pyu Saw Htee from the People's Security and Anti-Terrorism Force, subordinate to the terrorist military, brought his wife and surrendered to the Kantaw Township People's Defense Force (PDF). The person who surrendered was identified as Ko Aung Naing Win, 25, who resides in the Pitaukkshwe War (Shwe Min Wan) Ward of Kantaw Township. It is known that he was forcibly conscripted for the 20th batch of military service by the ward administrator and his group, without his consent. After being forcibly conscripted, it is known that he was only assigned duties of guarding and patrolling at the football field in the Aye Yeik Ngin Ward (Yan Gyi Aung) of Kantaw Township, as he was of a different religion. During his service, Ko Aung Naing Win told the revolutionary force members during interrogation that he witnessed the soldiers committing brutal and cruel acts against the people, and that Pyu Saw Htees were being sent to the front lines after being made to use WY (methamphetamine) pills. Therefore, he stated that he no longer condoned these actions and surrendered with his wife, Ma Poe Poe Chit. It is known that Ko Aung Naing Win has pledged to continue cooperating with the Kantaw Township People's Defense Force and to fight back against the terrorist military with weapons. Yangon Khit Thit Media contacted the Kantaw Township People's Defense Force for details of the incident, but has not yet received a response.
