The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA\/PSLF) has confirmed that eight individuals involved in the sale and use of narcotics were arrested during a surprise inspection operation conducted by the Ta’ang-controlled township police force in Mogok, located in the 2nd Military Region under Ta’ang administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, on the night of May 25 at around 11:00 p.m., members of the district and township police forces jointly carried out a surprise inspection within the town. During the operation, three individuals\u2014Ko Naing Min Htet, Sai Ko Ko Aung, and Ko Zaw Thet Htwe\u2014were apprehended with a total of 15 packets and 207 tablets of yaba (methamphetamine), along with three bottles containing two pressed tablets of heroin (referred to as \u201cwhite opium\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, five more individuals identified as drug users\u2014Soe Chit Thu, Nyi Min Khant, Aung Zaw Htet, Kyaw Zin Oo, and Apyo\u2014were subsequently arrested by the Ta’ang township police.

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 2. Justice For Myanmar Exposes 54 ASEAN-Based Companies Supporting Myanmar Military with Taxes, Jet Fuel, and Technology, Complicit in Atrocities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice For Myanmar (JFM) has released a report exposing 54 companies based in ASEAN countries that have supported the Myanmar military junta with tax payments, jet fuel, and various technologies, thereby contributing to grave crimes committed by the regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, these companies from ASEAN member states have maintained business relations with the junta and its military-controlled enterprises even after the attempted coup on February 1, 2021. Some of these companies have been named for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These businesses are said to be supporting the junta\u2019s violent military operations against civilians through various means\u2014including tax payments derived from military-controlled oil and gas, timber, and land leasing sectors, as well as the provision of jet fuel, telecommunications equipment, and surveillance technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cASEAN\u2019s failure to address corporate complicity has enabled the Myanmar junta to escalate its campaign of terror. During its violent crackdown, the junta has massacred thousands of civilians and displaced millions. ASEAN must take concrete action. It is time to respect the rights and democratic aspirations of the people of Myanmar and end corporate complicity with the junta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the companies named in the report is Thailand\u2019s partially state-owned PTTEP. The company is working in close collaboration with the junta on two major offshore gas projects, and its parent company PTT is reportedly financing military atrocities and crimes against humanity through revenue from gas sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Malaysian oilfield service company ENRA Group has been providing infrastructure support\u2014including gas storage and transport facilities\u2014for the junta-linked Yetagun gas project. ENRA’s operations in Myanmar were cited as a major revenue source for the company in both 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
