Gang-rape

61% of the rape incidents documented involved gang-rape. These incidents were thus committed collectively, with no fear of being witnessed. 

In many of the gang-rape cases, the victims were also killed by the troops. However, in a number of the cases, the women were released, showing that the perpetrators clearly had no fear of repercussions arising from the incident. 

Three women, aged 18, 35 and 37 were at their farm in the Kho Lam area when they were arrested by 80 SPDC troops from IB 99 led by Capt. Than Maung. They were kept for 4 days and 3 nights, during which time they were repeatedly gang-raped by the troops. They were then released. (case 116)
