THE IRRAWADDY
The
arrest of the seven sparked clashes between regime troops and
resistance fighters in Chin State’s Mindat, where at least 20 Tatmadaw
soldiers have been killed.
The
Myanmar military regime on Tuesday night released seven anti-regime
protesters who were arrested in Chin State’s Mindat on Saturday.
Their
arrests provoked daily clashes between civilian resistance fighters and
junta forces in the town, in which at least 20 junta troops had been
killed as of Tuesday.
“The
detainees were released at around 10 p.m. yesterday. There was more
shooting last night on the outskirts of the town. No clashes took place
this morning,” a member of Mindat’s civilian defense force said on
Wednesday.
Junta troops deployed at a toll gate at the entrance to the town have withdrawn, according to residents.
“Though
they have released the detainees, we can’t say things are gonna be
fine. The shooting has only ceased for a few hours. We can’t say they
won’t attack again,” a resident said.
