Burmese Man Holding Australian Citizenship Claims To Committing War Crimes

A Burmese refugee, currently holding Australian citizenship told the Australian media that he had served in the Karen National Union (KNU) and had killed almost 50 people during his stint there. Saw Moon Sah, who is 44 years old served in KNU from 1984 to 1987 and was an undercover agent for the Burmese Military, before he was deported to Australia and took up Australian citizenship. Saw Moon Sah made these self proclamations of war crimes to the Sydney Morning Herald and also added that he was a Corporal during his time at the KNU. He stated that he took up Australian citizenship after resigning from the KNU in 1998 and coming to Brisbane in a third-country resettlement programme. This is the second disclosure of war crimes by Burmese nationals holding Australian citizenship in a month. The other being Htoo Htoo Han, another Australian citizen who claimed that he was working undercover with the MI6.
