Public Breaks Curfew On Myanmar Roads, Media Gaged
Public Breaks Curfew On Myanmar Roads, Media Gaged. The public in Myanmar breaks curfew on roads, army orders to shut down media outlets.
Protesters in Myanmar’s largest city came out for mass protests, breaking the curfew at 8 pm on Monday night. They demanded the release of 200 students imprisoned by the security forces in a small area of a neighborhood.
Students and other civilians first staged several protests across the country last month against military occupation, with the military overthrowing Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government and seizing several leaders, including Aung San Suu Kyi.
At the same time, the military government has also put a big curb on media coverage.
It was announced that the licenses of five local media outlets – Majima, DVB, Khit Thit Media, Myanmar Now, and 7D News – have been revoked.
“These media companies are no longer allowed to broadcast or write or convey information using any kind of media platform or using any media technology,” the state broadcaster said on MRTV.
All five outlets were involved in widespread coverage of the protests. Live streaming video was often done online. Myanmar offices were raided by authorities on Monday before the license was revoked.
The government has detained dozens of journalists since the coup in Myanmar, Now reporter and Din Zaw of The Associated Press, who have both been charged under a public order law.
There is a provision that carries a jail sentence of up to three years. At the same time, the news of taking people in captivity is under increasing pressure on the Myanmar army all over the world.
The diplomatic missions of the United States, Britain, Canada, and the European Union all issued statements urging the security forces to return captive people to their homes safely.
Let me tell you that a large number of demonstrations are going on in the streets of the country against the military coup in Myanmar on 1 February.
The army and police are constantly using force to stop the protesters. Even the people present on the streets are being shot directly. So far 67 people have died in the country.
