Summary
Skeletons of 12 civilians abducted by Myanmar military forces in June 2023 were discovered in two mass graves near Wetpoke Village in Magway Region’s Myaing Township. The remains, found blindfolded with hands bound, were unearthed on October 4 after a resident foraging for mushrooms accidentally stumbled upon the burial site in a forested area. Local resistance forces subsequently excavated the site, uncovering two shallow pits containing the victims' skeletons alongside personal identification documents. The victims were identified through national IDs, a student card, birth certificates, and other personal items found at the site. Local rights activists allege that U Win Htay, a leader of the junta-aligned Pyusawhti militia based in Wetpoke, and a military column commander known as Bo Phyu were responsible for the abductions and executions. Activists and resistance forces express concern that additional mass graves may exist in the region, where numerous villagers remain missing following military sweeps.
