Youths missing since New Year
Ethnic armed groups or militia may have abducted 15 young men and women who went missing in late December, local residents fear. The men, from the Shan and Ta’ang communities in Nant Onn village, Muse township, Shan State, had gone out celebrating the Shan New Year on 28 and 29 December.
As of 17 January, they had not returned.
Sai Myat Aung, a member of the Muse Shan Literature and Cultural Committee, told The Myanmar Times, “There is no news yet in the case of the disappearing youths.”
