掸人权基金会指责缅军用平民当人体盾牌 2015-09-22 消息来源:番外联邦
日前,掸人权基金会发布了一个报告,指责缅军在与民族武装冲突中把平民当成人体盾牌。
今年3月,在掸邦南部昆欣镇,缅军为防止遭到南掸邦军的伏击,在巡逻途中强行抓了三名当地掸族农民和一名克钦樵夫,要求他们和缅军一起巡逻,把他们当成人体盾牌。早些时候,在当地有南掸邦军伏击了缅军。
据掸人权基金会统计,当天总共有10人被缅军抓走当作人体盾牌。
在1996年到1998年,缅军在昆欣当地执行坚壁清野的政策,强制迁移了300000村民,这期间总共造成300平民死亡。
Burma Army “Using Civilians as ‘Human Shields’ in Shan State …”

A human rights organisation has accused the Burma Army of forcing 10 villagers to be human shields during fighting in Shan State.
The Shan Human Rights Foundation said that Burma Army forced villagers from Kunhing township – in southern Shan State – to march with them on an afternoon patrol to prevent attacks by the Restoration Council of Shan State/Shan State Army-South (RCSS/SSA-S) forces which had ambushed the Burma Army troops earlier that day.
“On the way, the troops ordered three more local Shan farmers working outside the village, and a Karen logger working in the jungle, to join the group as [human] shields,” the SHRF said in a media statement.
This meant that a total of 10 villagers were used as human shields that day.
The Shan Human Rights Foundation said that Kunhing town had a long history of conflict.
Kunhing township was heavily affected by large-scale forced relocations of as many as 300,000 civilians between 1996 and 1998 – a displacement which saw more than 300 killed.
The conflict in Shan state is part of a larger war across northern Burma between non-state armed groups and the government that has waged since a government offensive against the Kachin Independence Army in 2011.
Since 2011 more than 100,000 people have become displaced by the conflict.
