february 16, 2008 - A Kachin student activist has been kept under surveillance and confined for over a week in a controlled area on the Sino-Burma border by Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) for making a comment on the Burmese ruling junta's National Convention (NC), local sources said.
Kyang Ying has been kept in the Alen Bum military base of KIO headquarters in Laiza since February 6. He is allowed to travel within Laiza controlled areas but not outside Laiza, KIO insiders told KNG.
KIO officials said Mr. Kyang Ying has not been allowed to go back to his home in Myitkyina Township, capital of Kachin State because the KIO is keeping him under protection and guarding him from being chased by the junta's security agents in Myitkyina.
However, the KIO's explanation was contradicted today by family members of Kyang Ying in Jan Mai Kawng quarter in Myitkyina. They told KNG, "No police and security agents of the ruling junta in the township had visited and asked them anything so far".
