I. War Crimes 42 Fortify Rights also spoke with “Arr Muu,” 52, a teacher and a person in charge of a school in “Bangkok” IDP camp, who said that the airstrike on September 5 also killed an entire family in a second shelter: We heard an aircraft approaching at approximately 9 p.m. … Then, we heard again … after 10 to 15 minutes … and [this time] the bombs were dropped. … One of the bombs fell into the camp, while the other struck the football field about 20 meters [more than 65 feet] from the camp shelters. … The bomb that was dropped [in the camp] struck the bomb shelter of a family. The attack killed all six family members who were taking refuge in the shelter.36 “Doh Rah,” 49, a camp committee member, described the scene at the second shelter after rushing to the place where the bomb dropped in the internally displaced persons camp: My house was two houses away from the place where the bomb dropped, around 30 feet away. … After the bomb dropped, I rushed to the place where people were screaming. … The bomb dropped exactly on the bomb shelter and killed the entire family. There was nothing left of their house. … We heard some whimpering sounds and tried to remove the twigs and dirt and pull people out. … But it was so difficult because the remains of the family who got hit were truly scattered all over the place.37 Fortify Rights also worked closely with the Karenni Human Rights Group (KnHRG) to verify information on the victims. Among the deceased, the two adults were women aged 47 and 41, four girls aged 18, 16, 13, and 11, and three boys aged 13, eight, and two. Nineteen camp residents sustained injuries to their torsos, backs, and legs. The oldest injured individual was an 80-year-old woman. At least eleven wounded were children under the age of 18.38 Speaking about the residents of “Bangkok” IDP camp, Arr Muu, 52, told Fortify Rights: “There are more than 1,000 people, around 160 households in “Bangkok” IDP camp. More than half are students; there are 689 students who are IDPs. … The death toll would have exceeded 100 if the bombs were dropped on the students’ bomb shelter.”39 On the damage and destruction from the airstrike on September 5, 2024, Doh Rah, a 49-year-old camp committee member, told Fortify Rights: There are hardly any houses that were not destroyed. About 40-50 houses were completely destroyed, and only one house on the edge [of the camp] wasn’t destroyed. Even then, their roofs were damaged from the impact of the bomb.40 Arr Muu believes that this airstrike targeted the internally displaced persons: There are no armed resistance combatants in the vicinity of the “Bangkok” IDP camp. … We didn’t have People’s Defence Force or resistance fighters at the camp. But sometimes, they would visit our camp since it’s in their controlled area. … Most of the time, we told them not to come in uniform or bring their firearms when entering the camp area.41 Seventy-four days later, on November 18, 2024, the junta again struck the “Bangkok” IDP camp. A 23-year-old camp resident who lost his mother in the airstrike on November 18 told Fortify Rights: At “Bangkok” IDP camp, I experienced two airstrikes. … The second airstrike that I experienced was the November 18 attack. It happened at 11:08 a.m. I was in the toilet when it happened. So, I ran out and tried to find a place to shelter. … There wasn’t a bomb shelter around where I was, 36 Fortify Rights interview with D.E., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 24, 2024. 37 Fortify Rights interview with A.G., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 24, 2024. 38 Fortify Rights interview with C.G., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 23, 2024. 39 Fortify Rights interview with D.E., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 24, 2024. 40 Fortify Rights interview with A.G., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 24, 2024. 41 Fortify Rights interview with D.E., Pekon Township, Karenni State, Myanmar, September 24, 2024.
