Five Civilians Reportedly Killed Near Dawei Special Economic Zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortify Rights said the military killed at least five civilians near the Dawei Special Economic Zone in Yebyu Township, Tanintharyi Region, where Russian-backed investment projects are being pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the organization, military forces conducted major operations around the economic zone in July, involving arbitrary arrests, torture, killings and the burning of civilian homes. Among those reportedly killed were three young members of The Ants, a group assisting displaced civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 30 homes were also reportedly burned, forcing thousands of residents to flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortify Rights argued that the operations may be connected to efforts to secure control over the strategically important deep-sea port and economic zone, where Russian-backed projects are planned. It called on companies cooperating with the military authorities to withdraw their investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, documents reportedly seized during fighting near Mobye indicate that more than 70 percent of personnel in one military column were newly conscripted soldiers. Of 152 personnel listed, 109 were conscripts, while only three were officers and 43 were regular soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report also says forced recruitment and street arrests are continuing in Yangon, Mandalay and other cities ahead of the next military training intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast, the Arakan Army (AA) reportedly returned a 13-year-old who had voluntarily attempted to join its forces to his family because he was under 18. AA officials said they do not accept minors, students or people in poor health for military service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
