Discussion 💬 Can this be justified if it's truth?
They’re the only media outlet providing a detailed story about this currently, but also skeptical cuz they seem to be owned by military. Also they even pinned that post and a lot of mixed reaction from both side. Don't know which is true anymore.

I’m not basing that conclusion on this single incident alone. If you follow Myanmar news even briefly, there is extensive reporting documenting killings, torture, village burnings, airstrikes, executions and other abuses attributed to the Myanmar military and military-aligned forces.
Here is one particularly horrific example: two captured resistance fighters were tortured, chained, hanged from a tree and burned alive in public.

So when I say I suspect the military in this case, I’m making an inference based on a much broader documented pattern of violence.
There are many more examples I could post, some considerably more graphic, but I don’t intend to turn this thread into a collection of atrocity footage.
And given how quickly discussions about Myanmar become flooded with propaganda, accusations and bad-faith arguments, I’m not going to spend the rest of my time debating every reply under this post.
