“Cut off ears and noses” ... terrifying testimonies about detention camps in Myanmar

Terrifying testimonies of former dissidents and detainees in the camps of the coup regime in Myanmar (Burma), included in a report by the CNN website, where witnesses spoke of being tortured so severely that they wished to die at times.

Defectors and demonstrators confirmed that detainees in the prisons of the coup regime are deprived of medical care, which leads to the death of some of their wounds.

And CNN says, "The physical and psychological scars they were subjected to are a" constant reminder of the brutality of this regime and its lack of respect for civilians. "

Since the February 1 coup, more than 750 people have been killed in the violence in the country, and the ruling authorities have arrested about 4,400 people, according to the local political prisoners support association.

One of those affected by the physical and psychological torture machine is a 19-year-old teenager who reported deep wounds to CNN after spending nearly three days in a concentration camp because he was among the protesters demanding democracy.

The young man whose story is mentioned was kidnapped while on his way from Yangon from Bago on his motorbike.

A military checkpoint stopped him on the road, and upon searching his phone, soldiers found pictures of him participating in the protests, to transfer him to a military facility, and there began the torture sessions.

He was tied and repeatedly beaten by guards, who used cable wires, rifle butts, and glass containers.

The report includes pictures of the teenager showing signs of torture throughout his body.

"The commander handcuffed me from the back and used small scissors to cut my ears, the tip of my nose, my neck and my throat. He used a gun to threaten me to kill me, but the bullets did not come out. He let the soldiers beat me that night."

The regime’s bloody crackdown has reached all forms of opposition, politicians, journalists, striking workers, celebrities, and even children and passers-by.

Many of these arrests were carried out when homes were raided at night or by kidnapping people from the streets, and holding them in secret locations without allowing them to communicate with their families.

The report tells the story of a young dance teacher named Khin Nien, 31, whose house was raided and arrested on charges of possessing bombs used in bombings.

The army released a photo of her, among the six accused in the case, in which she showed swollen eyes and her body covered in blood, according to her mother's account.

The mother, who was able to look at her at a police station, said that her eyes were swollen, her lips and face were injured, six of her teeth were lost, and she was unable to walk steadily.

The authorities have not formally charged the young woman so far, and she has not been transferred to a prison, and the mother believes that she was transferred to another camp for interrogation.

A former soldier who defected due to his inability to bear committing such atrocities against his fellow countrymen recounts that they were receiving orders to shoot anyone trying to escape during arrest.

He recounts that during the arrest of two protest leaders, one of them was arrested, and the other was trying to escape, "so we shot him immediately, but he managed to escape, so his daughter, who was in the house, was arrested."

During arrest, detainees were beaten and anyone who could reach their hands, even neighbors who looked out of the windows, would ask them to get out and then the soldiers would beat them.

"Any mistake was being searched for to subject anyone to beatings," says the soldier who fled to India.

In the event that a person tried to escape during his interrogation for violating the curfew, the orders issued stipulated that he should be shot immediately.

People who respond to soldiers during interrogations are bound to be hit with the back of their rifles.

The former military confirms the testimonies of the demonstrators that the detainees are left without health care, which exposes them to death after they shed a lot of blood and did not intervene to save them.
