Demoso residents fear being displaced again amid ongoing fighting

The brutal artillery shelling by the junta regime struck a sacred monastery in Shwebo township, tragically killing three young monks on 1 October in Sagaing region of Myanmar on 01 October 2025.
Additionally, at least seven other monks were badly injured as the monastery building is called Aungmaechianhmae in Showebo township.
All of the victims killed by the junta regime's heavy artillery were aged 14.
In a blatant attempt to manipulate the narrative, the junta's propaganda media has tried to shift responsibility, falsely accusing local anti-junta resistance forces of this reprehensible act.
This deception not only undermines the truth but also attempts to distract from the regime's ongoing violence against innocent civilians.

On October 1, junta troops arbitrarily arrested at least 17 civilians in Ah Luu Village, Bilin Township, Mon State, after their convoy was ambushed with landmines by resistance forces.
According to local sources, at around 2:20 p.m., more than 40 Junta soldiers assigned to guard the convoy came under attack near a plywood factory. In retaliation, the troops arrested men ranging in age from 17 to over 50, including factory workers, shopkeepers, and customers who happened to be at the site. The detainees were taken to Infantry Battalion 8 in Bilin and, as of October 2, had not been released.
Eyewitnesses said at least three Junta soldiers were seriously injured in the ambush. Troops also seized three motorcycles left near the scene.
This latest incident follows a series of arbitrary arrests in the area. On September 28, at around 5 a.m., Junta troops raided Kayin Lay Seik Village, Thaton Township, and arrested nearly 30 residents, including children. They were transported to the Thaton-based Training Battalion 9, where their fate remains uncertain.
“Whenever junta troops clash with resistance forces, they take out their anger on ordinary civilians. This is not a case of crossfire; it is deliberate. Each time there is fighting, they arrest, beat, and extort people, forcing families to pay for their release, and pressuring young men into military service against their will. These abuses happen again and again. The junta treats civilians as if they are the enemy, punishing them simply for living in these areas. The recent arrest of civilians, including young men, is another example of this pattern; it is nothing less than a war crime," a 55-year-old male local expressed.
