Col Ner Dah Mya, the son of the late Gen Bo Mya of the Karen National Union (KNU), has reportedly been released on bail by the Thai army, according to the London-based British Broadcasting Corporation Burmese service. He was arrested in January.
The BBC quoted a Thai army officer as saying that Col Ner Dah Mya was arrested and charged with possessing illegal weapons and transporting Burmese migrants to Thailand.

A senior KNU official confirmed Col Ner Dah Mya had been arrested along the Thai-Burmese border, where, the official said, he was supporting KNLA battalions in Burma.
Observers in Mae Sot in Tak Province said Thai authorities have increased pressure on leaders of the KNU and its armed wing, the KNLA.
The KNLA has been fighting the Burmese government since 1948. Its headquarters was overrun in 1995, and KNLA military activities moved closer to the Burmese-Thai border.
The KNU has continued to wage war against the Burmese military, mainly by forming small units and basing themselves in temporary jungle camps along the Thai-Burmese border.

| naingmya.... I believe I see your propaganda writings in the fake paper "New Light of Myanmar" No? Charles F and millions of others know the truth. There is only one truth, one reality, that is the SLORC/SPDC's daily rape, murder and torture. Your men are defecting daily. SPDC, speak the truth, please, you are ready to fall. What will happen then? No more billions in ruby or jade money for Than Shwe's daughter's wedding? I am watching you, naingmya, scared, fearful, but you do not see me. I am everywhere, with everyone, Burmans, Kayins, Karennis, Shans, Wa, Kachins, Nagas, Chins, Rohyingas, Rakhine... And I am watching you, more than Khin Nyut's "Unintelligent" officers ever knew. You can't hide anymore. Be honest, naingmya, who is the stooge? Do you have a mirror? Or are you too scared to look? |
