Two anti-junta fighters in their 20s were executed in public in a village in Magwe Region and a video of the crime, which occurred about three months ago, was uploaded to social media on Tuesday and is circulating there.

They were burned alive after being hanged from a tree.

The video, first reported on by two local media outlets – and likely leaked to them – is narrated by a triumphant voice.

Resistance group Yaw Defense Force (YDF) said junta soldiers and allied Pyu Saw Htee militia members were responsible for the crime in Gangaw Township’s Myauk Khin Yan village.

      We are living in a funny world, where nudity must be tagged and generally hidden, but there is wide acceptance to show violence.

        Most reputable news outlet will do a content warning if the article contain such image, or even blur the image by default, or not show the image altogether, it’s understandable people take that as a standard.
