Dimapur, June 26 (MExN): The Tangshang Naga Students’ Association has condemned the merciless killing of an innocent student in their “own country”.
According to press release from the TNSA, on June 20, at 9:30 pm, Gumseng Aung, a Computer Major student at Myithkyina University, Myithkyina, Kachin state, son of Gewa and Lahtaw Nan Aung was shot dead by a Myanmar Army trooper of the 727 Battalion Northern Command.
The association in their press release stated that Gumseng was shot dead by the Myanmarese Army identified as one Maung Maung after “falsely claiming that he tried to snatch the gun from him.”
“According to public eye witness it was utterly false,” the Pangsau-based student body countered maintaining that Gumseng was an “innocent student”. (Pangsau is a Naga village near the Indo-Myanmar border under Namyung Township, Sagaing Region.)
Grieving the loss of one of their own and a ‘future leader’, the TNSA strongly condemned the murder and stated that the 727 Northern Command of Myanmar has “liberally violated the human right” without having any conscience.
Mentioning that various developments are being taken up in other parts of the world, the student body rued that Myanmarese soldiers are “competing to pollute the atmosphere”.
Stating that it was time to bring out a national transformation in the country, the student body asserted that the Myanmarese soldiers should understand that their existence is for public security and not for torturing or killing civilians.
