In the section of the report covering Karen State, a woman
reported finding the body of her 12-year-old niece, who
had
a gunshot entering her vagina and exiting at her chin.
It said the girl was alleged to have been raped by a
major,
then managed to escape, was recaptured, raped again, and
shot. The major paid her family a sack of rice, a measure
of
sugar, a tin of condensed milk and 100 kyat (about 30
U.S.
cents) in compensation.
Another woman described how troops beheaded her brother
after accusing him of passing information to the Karen
National Union insurgents and beating him unconscious.
In another case, the report said, a Karen widow saw her
son
shot dead by soldiers when he tried to stop them beating
her.
