Police take valuables off bodies of cyclone victims in Mon state
IMNA June 12, 2008
The police in Mon state, on the pretext of searching for some kind of identification of bodies of Cyclone Nargis victims floating into the area, have been taking away jewellery found on the corpses, said local people.
The police in Kyaikkami and Set-sae beach area while searching for bodies barred people to go out to sea from the middle to the end of May.
"Police having been going out to the sea to look for bodies and have been taking necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and other valuable from the bodies," said a Set-sea villager.
Villagers were only ordered to burn and burry the bodies floating onto the beach. They are not allowed to go out to sea. Police check the bodies in the sea in boats and take the valuables.
People close to the police said policemen took the valuables from the bodies and have not been reporting to higher authorities.
Sources among the authorities said more than 300 bodies had floated to the beach and some were burnt and some buried. Some fresh bodies also floated to the area in a houseboat.
Local authorities forced people to clean the bodies along the beach in Set-sea and Kyaikkami area.
Recently the International Red Cross said tens of thousands of people killed in the cyclone may never be identified because the bodies have washed up miles from their homes and were badly decomposed five weeks after the disaster.
