"The father of a seriously injured man who was taken from his home in Rakhine’s Mrauk-U township by Tatmadaw soldiers without explanation has said he is innocent and called for his release. Than Myint Htay, 31, was bedbound at home in Leik Sin Pyin village recovering from a stomach wound after a tractor accident last week when soldiers showed up to detain him. His father, San Tun Phyu, has been unable to see him since and the military has refused to say why they took him. “My son did nothing wrong,” he told Myanmar Now. “I just want them to release him as soon as possible.” Family members travelled to Tein Nyo village, where he was held temporarily on his way to another detention center, to plead for his release.

The group said this number only includes people who have appeared in court to face charges..."
