Al Jazeera
Dozens of Myanmar police officers and citizens who fled February 1 coup to India now face an uncertain future.
Mizoram, India – Weeks after the February 1 military coup in Myanmar, Kunga, a 24-year-old low-ranking member of the Myanmar army, was ordered a new set of duties: to spy on the civil disobedience movement (CDM) protesters in Tonzang town of Chin state. Soon after, he deserted the military, joined the CDM and escaped to neighbouring India. Kunga is among hundreds of Myanmar security officials and citizens who have escaped to the northeastern parts of India amid a military crackdown on anti-coup protesters. Reports say at least 180 people have died in the violence in Myanmar.
