Three villagers, including a church leader, who were taken captive by the Burmese military in the predominantly Christian Kachin state, were killed in October.
Assistant pastor Hkaw Dut, Yung Hka Hyken and another man had been tied up, blindfolded and taken away during an assault on Nhka Ga in early September. Over 50 villagers are still being held by Burmese soldiers. They are running out of food, and 14 of them are in urgent need of medical care.
