Three days old baby was about to be sold

Ma Sabel (19) was abandoned by her husband named Maung Phyo Than Htun when she was 4 months pregnant. Ma Phyo had shared a place for Ma Sabel, who had no one to depend on at that time, to stay at her house for 11 days. She also promised Ma Sabel to look for someone who could foster her baby if she couldn’t take care of, and Ma Sabel agreed to it.


On August 23, 2010, Ma Sabel had given birth to a baby girl at Maetaw clinic, and she went to Ma Phyo’s house on August 25. She asked Ma Phyo that she would like to reconsider about giving her baby away. At that point, Ma Phyo had grabbed the baby and handed over to a muslim couple by ignoring her request. 

Ma Sabel came to PVA and appealed to help getting her baby back on August 26. PVA noticed that her shirt was all wet by the milks spelling out of her breasts due to the lack of having her baby.

PVA rushed to Ma Phyo’s house where she wasn’t there. PVA joining force with CPPR and BLC pursued the search in Muhargiwin quarter, and brought the baby back. The three days old baby girl was returned to mother finally.

PVA found out that the baby was about to sell to the Hmo ethnic people, according to the sources. Now, Ma Sabel and her baby were taken care of by a family that owned “Uwellay” tea-shop.
