Members of Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) beat up a Burmese student without provocation at Prome, Pegu Division in central Burma on 30 August.

First year Chemistry student Maung Ye Naing was attacked by Aung Moe Zin, Ko Ko Htaik and Ko Mu while he was returning to his hostel.

Fortunately, he was rescued by other students. He is recovering in the local hospital.

The parents of the victim reported the incident to the local police and a spokesman there told DVB that two of the attackers are now being detained.

USDA is the “youth” wing of Burma’s military junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) comparable to Hitler’s Brown Shirts responsible for attacking pro-democracy activists and intimidating civilians in Burma.
