Locals told Mizzima that 11 villagers from Done Taw village in Salingyi township, Sagaing region were restrained and set on fire by the Tatmadaw on December 7.

A Done taw villager said that the military council troops in three vehicles opened fire on Done taw village at around 8 am on December 7. They also opened fire on the group of houses in the north of the village and burned the people living in these houses at a place in the forest.

The nearly one-and-a-half-minute unverified video clip, which has been circulating on social media, shows images of a group of people burning.

Local villagers have confirmed that people in the video are Done Taw villagers and the video is said to have been shot by a villager when the military council left.
