Young man hangs himself to death in Sittwe; total suicide deaths reach to six in five months

A man in his 20s hanged himself to death in Sittwe on Friday making the number of deaths by hanging in the past five months to six in Rakhine State’s capital.

The deceased man who lived in Sittwe’s Ywagyi Myauk Ward was the 24- year old Ko Maung Win Hlaing. He was found dead at 8:30pm on 7 October.

Ywagyi Myauk Ward Administrator, U San Thein, told Narinjara that the wife found him dead hanging at their house.

“We have no idea when he died hanging. As only the two live in the house, his wife knew only when she arrived back. The wife was going to her mother’s house in the same ward,” he said.

The ward administrator said the man had been talking about hanging himself as the livelihood and business was not good.

“They are leading a hard life. They had to live renting someone else’ house. Husband had no job and tried to hang himself. He was showing the rope. This time he did it practically, said the ward administrator.

The other five people who hanged themselves to death in Sittwe in the past five months are Daw Ohnmar Khin from Mingan Wunhtan Block (3), the 30-year old U Kyaw Myat from Setyon Su Ward, 58-year old U Tun Tha Sein , 21- year old U Tun Aye Kyaw and 18-year old Ma Yu Yu Hlaing of Kanpyin village in Sittwe Township.

The six deaths occurred in five months from May to 7 October, according to figures from Myitta Yaungchi Foundation based in Sittwe.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war. In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured. Whilst been escorted to a German Lufwaffe Prisoner of War (POW) camp (he was a pilot and thus his interrogation and imprisonment was the responsibility of the German airforce), he opened a conversation with his captors. He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles. Antony Beevor wrote: "... In Paris, there were cases of prostitutes kicked to death for having accepted German soldiers as clients. (...) A large number of the victims were prostitutes who had simply plied their trade with Germans as well as Frenchmen, although in some areas it was accepted that their conduct was professional rather than political, others were silly teenagers who had associated with German soldiers out of bravado or boredom. In a number of cases, female schoolteachers who, living alone, had German soldiers billeted on them, were falsely denounced for having been a "mattress for the boches. (...) Women accused of having had an abortion were also assumed to have consorted with Germans. Many victims were young mothers, whose husbands were in German prisoner-of-war camps. During the war, they often had no means of supp...

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration.

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration camp,which contains following message adressing the teachers. Dear Teacher, I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates. So, I am suspicious of education. My request is: Help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated illeterates. Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more humane.
