Three Education Staff Abducted by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Thanbyuzayat Township of Mon State
15 August 2025
Terrorist groups have been engaging in battles, carrying out attacks using heavy weapons, drones to drop bombs, and improvised explosive devices across towns and villages in various states and regions. Moreover, they are committing inhumane acts of terror and criminal activities including abducting and extorting money from civil servants, administrative officials and local civilians, as well as killings.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 14 August 2025, at 8:00 AM, three education staff, who were scheduled to attend a course at the Civil Service Academy (Lower Myanmar), were abducted by a so-called PDF terrorist group. The abducted teachers are Daw Zar Chi Thaw (36 years old) a deputy primary teacher from the Basic Education High School (La Mine), Daw Khin Lay Mon (40 years old) a junior assistant teacher from the Basic Education High School (Malt Ka Nin), and Daw Ingyin Oo (29 years old) an assistant primary teacher from the Basic Education High School (Nit Ka Yin), all from Ye Township, Mon State. The incident occurred while they were traveling in their respective passenger vehicles from Ye Town to the State Education Commissioner’s Office in Mawlamyine Town. When their vehicles reached an area near Wal Kha Mi Village in Thanbyuzayat Township, the so-called PDF terrorist group forced the vehicles to stop and abducted the teachers, it is reported.
Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend, and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
