Following a clash between CNDF members and advancing military troops from the brutal council near Shar Taw Village yesterday, CNDF comrade Salai Ro Hming Thang, also known as Tha Bik (26 years old), was captured.

According to Salai Timmy from the CNO/CNDF, ‘Yesterday, there was a clash between our comrades and the advancing military troops from the SAC in Shar Taw. After capturing Tha Bik, the SAC executed him and then set fire to the homes in Shar Taw Village all at once.’
