Myanmar police ‘told to shoot’ coup protesters – BBC News


Police officers from Myanmar have told the BBC they fled across the border into India after refusing to carry out the orders of the military which seized power in a coup last month.

More than a dozen defectors told us they escaped, fearing they’d be forced to kill or harm civilians.

For nine years Naing – whose name we have changed for his safety – served as a policeman in Myanmar, also known as Burma. "I was given orders to shoot at protesters. I told them I can’t," he said.

Now, the 27-year-old is in hiding in the north-east Indian state of Mizoram.
