At approximately 1:30 pm on September 17th, Saw G--- stepped on a landmine. Carried back across the border into Thailand, he was eventually treated in the Mae Sot General Hospital. His left leg has been amputated; his right leg is broken badly enough to potentially warrant amputation. It is important to note that the injuries sustained by Saw G---, who is 13 years old, clearly constitute one of the six "grave violations" outlined in United Nations Security Council resolution 1612, which called for an end to abuses prohibited under "applicable international law relating to the rights and protection of children in armed conflict."
