The Japanese Parliamentary League Supporting Myanmar’s Democracy, consisting of 61 members of parliament, has pledged to continue its efforts in support of the Myanmar people resisting the military junta since the coup in 2021. The statement was announced by the NUG Representative Office in Japan.
The League declared its intention to pursue the following:
(a) Diplomatic Pressure: Work through diplomatic channels to push for the immediate end of the Myanmar military’s violent repression of civilians, including stronger engagement with UN, ASEAN, EU, and other international bodies, and support for ICC/ICJ proceedings.
(b) Election Rejection: Oppose and refuse to recognize the junta’s planned elections, while also stepping up assistance for the growing number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugee camps.
(c) Refugee Support: Provide aid to Myanmar refugees crossing borders and accept more refugees into Japan.
(d) Humanitarian Assistance: Continue supporting demining efforts, and the provision of prosthetic limbs and other necessary humanitarian assistance, while extending help to address new challenges as they emerge.
These issues were highlighted during the League’s 4th General Assembly, and on October 1, seven MPs, including Upper House Chairman Mr. Kondo Soichi, formally submitted these concerns to Japan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Miyaji.
The NUG’s Representative Office in Japan expressed deep gratitude for these efforts, and also noted that Myanmar nationals in Japan recognize and appreciate the League’s valuable support toward restoring democracy, human rights, and liberation from military dictatorship in Myanmar.

Radio NUG
The Military Council has arbitrarily arrested two activists from the Sanchaung Main Strike Column, a Yangon-based protest group that has been working together with the public in resisting the military dictatorship.
The arrested individuals are Hnin Naing Zaw (aka Omi) and Theim Theiri Wai (aka Ma Myar), who went missing on June 3, 2025, while traveling on a ground mission and were later confirmed to have been unjustly detained.
Following their arrest, both were subjected to the military’s brutal interrogation centers and human rights violations, and they remain unlawfully imprisoned under the junta’s oppressive legal system.
Due to security concerns for other activists, news of their arrest could not be immediately released.
Both detainees are known for standing firmly alongside the people in peaceful protests for the restoration of fundamental human rights, equality, and democracy in Myanmar, including the right to free expression, which has been suppressed under military rule.

According to the Political Prisoners Network – Myanmar (PPNM), five political prisoners who had been released early from Tharyarwaddy Prison in Bago Region have been re-arrested by the Military Council under fabricated new charges.
On October 1, a total of 30 prisoners, including 16 political prisoners, were released under an early release program.
However, it is reported that six of the released political prisoners were immediately rearrested at Htone Boo Prison Camp by officials from the junta-controlled Ministry of Home Affairs and transferred to Tharyarwaddy Police Station.
Out of the six detainees, five individuals—Sai Aung Ngein, Jerry Kaung Htaik, Tin Soe (aka Nat Soe), and Ma May Myat Thu, along with another person—were re-charged under Section 52 of the Counter-Terrorism Law and sent back to Tharyarwaddy Prison.
The PPNM has strongly condemned these arbitrary re-arrests and denounced the use of oppressive laws against political prisoners as a grave human rights violation. The organization also urged human rights groups to closely monitor the situation.
These reports were submitted to Radio NUG by reporters Khur Shel and Padeh Phoe.
