大部分人质是住在缅军基地周围的傈僳族人。在中国逃难的勐古居民说，100多平民被抓进了缅军设在byuha山的基地，其中包括一对新婚夫妇和婚礼后跳传统傈僳族舞蹈的人们。那对新人的中国籍亲戚经数小时审讯后被释放，其他约70名傈僳族、克钦族、汉族、掸族人被扣留在缅军基地内。
Yang PongLung是上周被缅军释放的汉族人，他说缅军将基地内的人质用作人盾保护自己免遭民族联军打击。他说，缅军要求人质站在掩体附近，围绕基地修建围墙，还要为缅军做饭。人质经常因反应慢和听不懂缅语而被缅军用枪托揍。
Yang PongLung说缅军要求所有人质时刻高举双手，防止他们夺取武器：“有些男性人质被强迫长时间双手抱头跪、蹲在地。”
上周一名被释放的女性对克钦之地新闻说，缅军放她是因为她抱着一个婴儿带着一个幼儿，孩子们在缅军基地里哭个不停。她说，她的丈夫和两个儿子还被关在缅军基地里。
以下是目前还被缅军当做人质关押在勐古缅军团部的部分人员名单：
