The physical violence against a woman

On February 3, 2012, PVA was reported that Nay Ye Min invaded into Daw Si Thu’s property and beat her with a stick. She sustained 9 stitches in her head in due course.

Daw Si Thu said, “I’ve been in Thailand for 13 years. I got married with a Thai man. I took care of my family on my own. I and Nay Ye Min became friends about a year ago. Last five months or so, we had an intimate relationship. My relationship with my Thai husband didn’t work out. So, I felt like I would like to depend on Nay Ye Min. On February 2, I found out that he went back to Myawaddy and met with his wife. That’s how I knew that he’s a married man. So I withdrew my agreement to sign the marital documents. I burnt down all the documents. On February 2, he came to my house and accused me that I stole his cell phone. I was mad at that point, and I tried to beat him with a stick. However, he grabbed the stick and beat me about 5 times with it in stead. He ran away as I fell.”

PVA brought both parties on February 5, and condemned Nay Ye Min for recklessly beating a woman. It also ordered him to pay for her medical costs. He finally signed an agreement to stay away from Daw Si Thu and her family.
