Police officers from Myanmar have told the BBC they fled across the border into India after refusing to carry out the orders of the military which seized power in a coup last month.
More than a dozen defectors told us they escaped, fearing they’d be forced to kill or harm civilians.
For nine years Naing – whose name we have changed for his safety – served as a policeman in Myanmar, also known as Burma. "I was given orders to shoot at protesters. I told them I can’t," he said.
Now, the 27-year-old is in hiding in the north-east Indian state of Mizoram.
