Arbitrary Arrests and Extrajudicial Killings Two people were arbitrarily arrested during the reporting period in Myitkyina Township. Many of these abductions and unlawful arrests often resulted in enforced disappearances, causing fear and hardship for families. In additions, 13 persons were executed after being arbitrarily arrested. A 30-year-old resident of Mazut Yang village, Lone Khin village tract, Hpakant Township, was arrested on June 6, 2025, by troops under Division 33, including Battalions (11), (47), and (76). It is unknown which specific battalion made the arrest. He was accused of being a PDF member and taken to the Mazut Yang detention camp. The family sought help from the village chairman to explain that he was not a PDF member. On June 8, 2025, at around 10:30 AM, they were told to come and take him back. However, he was unable to go because he was following military columns. At around 5:00 PM that same day, when they went to retrieve him, they were told that he had escaped from the detention camp. This later proved false, as the family could not find him despite continuous searching. With the assistance of a Chairman in gathering information, it was learned on June 10, 2025, that he had been taken back toward the military base area. The family now believes that he may have been tortured and killed on that same day (June 10). This account was shared by his elder sister, a church minister. Hpakant Township in Kachin State is being targeted by the junta to expand its economic, political, and administrative control. According to orders from coup leader Min Aung Hlaing, Major General Aung Zaw Htwe (Commander of the Northern Regional Military Command) and militia leader Min Zin Thant were assigned to clear the area. They were given special responsibility to control the road to Hpakant and the entire gemstone-producing region, and to eliminate KIA forces. 16 | "Inhumane Acts" by KHRW
