The regime on Wednesday seized the house of a Chin National League for Democracy Chin (CNLD) MP in the capital Hakha.
A local source told Khonumthung News that the forces gave Sheng Mang’s family only a few minutes to retrieve their belongings from the house in Zaythit ward before confiscating it.
Sheng Mang was the only CNLD candidate to win a seat in the Chin State parliament for the 2020 election. His son, the chief physician of Hakha Public Hospital, joined the Civil Disobedience Movement against the dictatorship.
In December, armed forces seized the house of Salai Myo Hteik, a former MP for the National League for Democracy in Sami, Matupi Township.
In October, the house of Dr. Lian H. Sakhaung, vice-chair of the Chin National Front and minister of Federal Union Affairs of the National Unity Government in Hakha was seized. On the same day, forces in the capital seized the house of Pastor Van Cam in Kyawbok ward.
