NUG Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann says that the terrorist military council may use all its resources to hinder the revolutionary groups

Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann included this during the 73rd Cabinet Meeting of the National Unity Government held on November 1.

“There is another issue to which we must pay special attention. As the revolution takes longer time, the terrorist military council may use all kinds of resources and plan one by one to make things different for the revolutionary groups. For that, we will have to prepare, respond, and plan with special caution.”— Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann said.

At present, the terrorist military leader is trying to deceive the ethnic revolutionary groups under the pretext of peace talks.

“This terrorist military is mercilessly carrying out massacres throughout the country to maintain their power. They will also continue to do it. These actions will stop only when we unite and root out this terrorist military council. What is important at this time is to work together to stop the inhuman acts of the terrorist military. At this time, the military council’s biggest fear is that we will unite and respond. They will also disturb it by all means.”

U Nay Phone Latt also said that the terrorist military may use tactics aimed at dividing the revolutionary forces and distracting them.

The UK Myanmar Embassy stated that journalists in Myanmar are facing arbitrary detention, prosecution and extreme violence, simply for reporting the truth

On the occasion of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists which fells on November 2, the UK Embassy in Myanmar released a statement that journalists in Myanmar face arbitrary detention, prosecution and extreme violence, simply for reporting the truth.

The complete statement is, “Journalists in Myanmar face arbitrary detention, prosecution and extreme violence, simply for reporting the truth. Since the coup in 2021, at least 4 journalists have been killed by the military in complete impunity.

So on this international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists, we remember and pay tribute to all the journalists in Myanmar who have risked their lives and their freedom to provide vital news and information for the people of Myanmar.

Nearly 50 journalists are still in detention and 22 media workers have now been unjustly convicted since the coup. This includes the BBC Media Action freelance producer Htet Htet Khine, who was last month sentenced to six years hard labour.

The UK condemns any violation of media freedom and believes those abusing or restricting media freedom must be held to account.  We will continue to support a range of emergency protection services to help the safety of journalists and human rights defenders in Myanmar and across the world.”

In Yangon, pickpockets commit systematic crimes on buses

In October, the people of Yangon unanimously said that more gangs committed pickpocketing.

“Mainly during rush hours in the morning and evening when people are going to and coming back from work. When one of them [pickpockets] picks a pocket from a passenger, the other three or four monitor, and the surrounding people do not dare say anything even if they see it. They often bring weapons,” said a resident of Yangon.

There was a report the previous day that a man on YBS 42 in Yangon was robbed of his iPhone 11, and when he screamed for help in the bus, seven people came out with knives to fight, and he had to stay still.

Even though people went to the police station to complain about these pickpocket incidents, some police stations even asked them to go home under the pretext of station security.
