緬甸局勢越演越烈,根據「援助政治犯組織」(AAPP)29日最新消息,28日再新增13人身亡,至今軍方已奪去459條性命(包含35名孩童),2559人仍受當局拘捕。
軍政府於27日建軍76週年「軍人節」,對國內44處城鎮大規模血腥鎮壓,當天累計114人遭射殺,成政變以來「最血腥一天」。同日,更對當地武裝組織「克倫民族聯盟」(KNU)控制地區發動一系列空襲,目前克倫邦慕特勞區(Mutraw)已有3千多人逃往泰國。
示威者形容,27日這天軍方對平民,就如殺雞般毫不留情撲殺,民眾頭部背部中彈之餘,更有嬰兒眼睛遭橡皮子彈射中,在第二大城曼德勒共40人喪命,最大城仰光也有27人罹難。而軍政府同時則於首都奈比多舉行閱兵典禮,還邀請中印俄等國代表出席、共享晚宴,與街頭慘狀根本天差地別。

《Irrawaddy》報導,27日晚間9時,軍方突襲曼德勒昂梅達贊區(Aungmyaythazan),在當地大肆縱火。當時手無寸鐵的烏艾科(U Aye Ko)原本試圖搶救火場,卻慘遭軍方開槍。烏艾科倒地痛苦呻吟之際,軍警看他還留有一絲氣息,直接朝他身上潑汽油、點火,變成一團火球、死命掙扎的烏艾科,便在不斷叫喊「救救我啊!媽媽!」之後,化作一具焦黑屍骨,徒留3位喪父孤兒。

😢 U Aye Ko, a father of three was burnt alive according to locals in #Mandalay.
On 27 March, he was shot during protests. "Are you not dead yet? Shoot at him more," said the soldiers. Then, they threw him into the fire. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar pic.twitter.com/uqVNYsI74Q
克倫邦在27日則有3人喪命、7人重傷。軍方當天派出2架直升機,對位處緬泰交接慕特勞區、共5處發動空襲,還包含邊境流亡者聚落,迫使萬人遷居。泰國公共電視台(TPBS)回報,目前已逾3千人穿越邊境逃到泰國尋求庇護,無數人躲在叢林中。當天稍晚至隔日中午,邊境薩爾溫江(Salween River)流域仍接連遭遇襲擊。
Today the Burma Army continued its airstrikes in 5 areas in Lu Thaw Township, Mu Traw District. There is reason to believe that the soldiers responsible will launch this airstrike again in the villages along the Salween River, Mae Nu Hta, Kho Kay including Ei Htu Hta IDP camp. pic.twitter.com/FKgf68qflv

據悉,克倫民族聯盟於2015年便已簽訂停火協議,但自軍方掌權後雙方關係愈加緊繃,KNU與撣邦重建委員會(RCSS)皆指責軍方濫殺平民,揚言政府若再大開殺戒,便會組建聯邦軍隊保護民眾。緬甸聯邦議會代表委員會(CPRH)也於27日聲明應和。

目前緬甸約有逾20個少數民族武裝組織控制各地。KNU軍隊、克倫民族解放軍(KNLA)指揮官表示,將會與學生等公民聯合推翻軍方法西斯獨裁統治。
對於緬甸軍警慘無人道行徑,美英加、日韓、澳紐、德義、希臘、丹麥及荷蘭,共12國國防部長,則於28日發出聯合聲明譴責。聯合國人權理事會調查員安德魯斯(Tom Andrews)更以「大屠殺」(Mass Murder)形容,表示「如不能經安理會處裡,也能舉辦國際緊急高峰會」。美國總統拜登(Joe Biden)也說緬甸情形相當糟糕、「非常駭人聽聞」。
