Regime authorities arrested members of a Mandalay-based aid organisation on Saturday who had helped at a funeral service for former Mandalay chief minister Dr. Zaw Myint Maung earlier this month.
Junta troops arrived in civilian vehicles on the night of October 26 at the office of the Parahita Min Gaung Emergency Rescue Service in Mandalay’s Aungmyethazan Township and detained eight people including the organisation’s chair Khin Maung Tint, according to a representative of another Mandalay-based charity organisation.
“From what we’ve heard, we think it’s related to Dr. Zaw’s funeral. We don’t know the situation yet. We can’t make contact,” said the charity worker, who requested anonymity for security reasons.
