One Leg Lost, But Never Retreating: Deputy Commander ‘Ko John San’

Kantarawaddy Times

“If we don’t act now, the revolution will keep dragging on.”
These are the words of 25-year-old young revolutionary Ko John San.

With a sense of responsibility for the country, Ko John San trained with the Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) and joined the fight on the battlefield. Before the coup, he worked as a driver at a construction site.

While fighting the junta’s troops on the frontlines, on March 5, 2022, during the Demoso police station battle, he lost one leg after stepping on a landmine laid by the military junta’s troops. His leg was amputated below the knee.

Even without one leg, Ko John San, who now serves as deputy commander of KNDF Unit 19, still goes out to the frontlines to this day.

“My leg was the only thing lost. I still have roles I can do, so I joined from inside those roles,” Ko John San said.
