Myanmar's military has arrested 18 medics for providing treatment to patients who were members of "terrorist organizations," a state-run newspaper said Wednesday, referring to outlawed anti-junta groups.
Troops made the arrests during a raid on Monday on a church in Loikaw in eastern Kayah state, where they discovered 48 patients who were receiving treatment, seven suffering from Covid-19.
"It was learned that unofficial medical treatment was being provided to the injured persons and patients from the terrorist organizations," said the Global New Light of Myanmar, the junta's mouthpiece.
