One man was killed and another stabbed in weekend brawls between rival party supporters in Myanmar’s Nov. 8 general election, with witnesses describing groups carrying wooden sticks and iron bars to street rallies, RFA reported.
Myo Win Soe died of injuries he sustained Friday during a clash between fellow supporters of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) and those of the opposition Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP).
The administrator of the farming village of Kar Boe in the northwestern Sagaing region, told RFA’s Myanmar Service that the violence seemed intentional.
