'Shoot till they are dead': Some Myanmar police say fled to India after refusing orders

According to a senior Indian official, around 100 people from Myanmar, mostly policemen and their families, have crossed over a porous border into India since the protests began.

When Tha Peng was ordered to shoot at protesters with his submachine gun to disperse them in the Myanmar town of Khampat on February 27, the police lance corporal said he refused.
