Attempts by Myanmar's military to end dissent are turning to the virtual world with Internet blocks and arrest warrants for online critics as big rallies become rare in the face of relentless repression by the security forces.
The authorities, who had already shut down mobile data in a bid to stifle opposition, ordered Internet providers from Friday to cut wireless broadband, depriving most customers of access.Authorities also issued warrants for 18 show business celebrities, including social media influencers, and two journalists under a law against material intended to cause a member of the armed forces to mutiny or disregard their duty, state media reported late on Friday.
"Whether a warrant has been issued or not, as long as I'm alive I'll oppose the military dictatorship who are bullying and killing people. The revolution must prevail," she said on Facebook.Paing Phyoe Thu regularly attended rallies in the main city of Yangon in the weeks after the coup. Her husband, film director Na Gyi, has been wanted by the authorities under the same law since February.
MRTV maintains a YouTube channel and shares links to its broadcasts on Twitter, both of which are officially banned."We hope this won’t silence the voices of the people," a State Department spokeswoman, Jalina Porter, told a briefing. Separately, one person was shot and wounded in a raid in the second city of Mandalay on Friday night, the Mizzima news service said.The coup has also rekindled old wars with autonomy-seeking ethnic minority forces in the north and the east.
