The eyewitness told Myanmar Now on Monday afternoon that the bodies that had been dug up by the troops were left above ground.
“The graves are recent, only since early April, I’d say. The corpses are still decomposing and it just smells so bad,” a local who witnessed the raid on the cemetery said.
“They’re raiding the graves and taking out the bodies. They said they would put the bodies into separate graves because these graves are ‘illegal.’ I don’t know what law they are referring to,” he said.
