Ray’s family sighed, “I’m worried that my four-year-old daughter, who was traumatized by living apart from her parents after Ray’s hiding, would suffer a greater trauma.”
Ray was angry when he heard the news of his family’s detention late. “My daughter is too young to be detained in the military and police,” he said. “The arrest of innocent children violates international law and children’s rights,” he stressed. “Even if the military and police did nothing, bringing the children into an unsuitable environment full of people in uniforms hurt mentally.” In addition to the Ray family, the military continues to be brutalized by detaining the family of university professors who led the protests in Mon State for more than two weeks.
