15 Year-Old Schoolgirl Gang-Raped And Mutilated by Burmese Soldiers
15 Aug 2008
Pictures available.

Burma Campaign UK sources have confirmed that Burmese Army soldiers have gang-raped and mutilated a 15 year old schoolgirl in Kachin State Burma. No action has been taken by the Burmese authorities to investigate and arrest those involved.

The incident took place on 27th July 2008 near Nam Sai Village, Bamaw District, Kachin State, northern Burma. The schoolgirl, Nhkum Hkawn Din, was attacked and killed on her way to bring rice to her brother, who was working on a paddy field on the family farm. Her family only realised that Hkaw Din was missing after her brother came back from the farm and asked his parents where she was. They searched for her all evening and reported her missing at 9pm.

After a three-day search her naked and mutilated body was found 200 meters from an army checkpoint. They first found her clothes, and then her slippers together with the basket that she carried on that day. A local witness testified that they had seen Burmese Army soldiers follow Hkaw Din on her way to the paddy field. After her body was found other witnesses testified that they had seen soldiers leave that area after the time she had disappeared.

$500 Compensation to Family of Kachin Schoolgirl Raped and Killed
23 Aug 2008
The Burma Campaign UK has received reports that the family of a 15 year-old schoolgirl who was gang-raped, mutilated and killed by Burmese Army soldiers has been offered around $500 plus some food staples as compensation for the murder.

Local army commanders have now admitted that one of their soldiers carried out the attack, which took place on July 27th. However, local people are reportedly angry that the regime is pinning the blame on just one low ranking soldier, witnesses saw more than one soldier following the schoolgirl, including a local colonel. That colonel has now apparently been reassigned to another area.
