Army forces railway staff return to work order at gunpoint
The military council has forced railway staff who have joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) to return to their work at gunpoint, in Hopin Township, Kachin State.
A local told the KNG that soldiers and police from Mohnyin Township arrived in Hopin Township by train at around 6 am on June 20th.
They coerced CDM staff and non-CDM staff to work along the railroad at gunpoint.
Soldiers and police closed the entry and exit of the railroad and forced CDM and non-CDM staff to sign the pledge. They are compelled to repair the railroad damaged by mine attacks and clear the garbage.
