Almost get killed

On October 29, 2012, U Aung Aung came to PVA and asked for help claiming that his son a 15 years old named Maung Sit Min Naing’s life is in danger. According to him, his son had jumped over a fence and picked up his longyi that fell into other people’s residence. It was owned be a relative of the village’s head of Sanmae village, Maetao. While picking up his longyi, Sit Min Aung heard TV playing and saw three girls watching it. Since he knew them already, he went into the house and watched TV with the girls. A niece of the village head had reported the incident to the village paramilitary troops and asked them to kill Sit Min Aung. A Burmese, who understood Thai and heard about it, told the father to hide his son. After carefully listening to the report, PVA members went to the village head’s home and explained the situation on October 29. PVA finally decided to send the child to youth center where he could live safely.
