Report: "FBR Video Man Shot by Burma Army"
Distributed by Free Burma Rangers, March, 2014

Saw Shae Say, one of our Rangers, was shot by the Burma Army on 18 February 2014 while attempting to video their advance into Karen State.

Saw Shae Say and his team were monitoring a Burma army advance in the Saw Mu Plaw area of Muthraw District, Northern Karen State. Saw Mu Plaw was the site of a Karen village until the Burma army attacked it multiple times and chased all the villagers out. There are now two Burma Army camps in the area and they are working to expand their control of the area and are using bulldozers to push a road through. One Karen soldier accompanying the team was wounded in the ankle and Saw Shae Say was shot in the arm, shattering his bone. The team managed to escape the Burma Army and carried the wounded for two days to a Free Burma Ranger-supported clinic.
