The Killing Festival at Depayin
Author’s note - This is a record of events as testified by those eye witnesses who saw, heard, experienced the events, sustained injuries and were among those who were handcuffed, tied with ropes and transported in 4 DYNA trucks to Shwebo jail at dawn the next day.
From the 6th May 2003, the people’s leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and party toured the Kachin State and Sagaing Division. All along the way they were hassled by members of the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), stooges of the State Peace and Development Council’s (SPDC). A special branch of about 2000 designated ‘Swan Are Shin (a special group formed within USDA and its name means the mighty and competent )’ was armed with weapons such as wooden clubs and dahs (long knives) and given specialist training within the High School compound in Monywa. Some of them had shaven heads to enable a quick disguise as monks.
