On March 8, 2012 at about 7 pm, a 21 years old named Maung Kyaw Swar Lin’s home near Kwinpai mosque, in Mae Sot, was illegally searched, and his wife Ma Myat Knothu and her friend Ma Thandar were taken to a hotel and raped by the strangers. The victims came to PVA office and asked for help. They told PVA as followed.
On February 19, 2012, at 1 am when Maung Kyaw Swar Lin couple were on their way to 7/11 store to buy some foods and medicines for Ma Myat Knothu, who was sick in bed at home, three Thai speaking men claiming themselves as the authorities to search for illicit drugs came into their residence and confiscated 2700 baht under their pillows, another 2800 baht in total of 5500 baht and 2 cell phones while strip searching Ma Myat Knothu naked. Meantime, the couple came back home and witnessed the incident. At that point, a chubby guy, one of the three men, took out a knife and stuck it in Maung Kyaw Swar Lin’s neck and confiscated 960 baht and his cell phone. His wife was strip searched naked and took her phone again. Later, two of the three men took away the ladies for the investigation, by leaving a skinny man to watch out for Maung Kyaw Swar Lin. Finally, Maung Kyaw Swar Lin punched the skinny man in the face and ran away. He rushed to his friends and looked for the ladies who were nowhere to be found. On the next day morning, Ma Myat Knothu called and told him that these men were not the authorities but the crooks that took them into the separate rooms and raped them in a hotel. The chubby guy raped his wife and the other guy and his other friend raped her in a separate room. She was also threatened that both ladies would be killed if they report to the police in this regard.
After hearing of the inhumane and outrageous story, PVA had decided to investigate it by the help of the Thai authorities for the further action.
