4 people killed in Myeik today. Families can't even announce the death and take photograph to give the journalists as they're afraid of security forces who can take the dead bodies.
It’s been 6 days since the Military Junta cut off mobile internet which people in rural areas mostly rely on. WIFI is still accessible yet we are not sure until when. We do not accept INTERNET SHUT DOWN. We do not accept NEWS SUPPRESSION.
#InternetShutdown
The Myanmar junta has cut mobile data as it violently cracks down on unarmed protestors and dissidents.
Protestors are being shot dead and/or tortured in broad daylight by junta forces.

There’s a push to share this picture today. It’s in relation to the mass arrest of almost 400 students on March 3 in Yangon’s Tarmwe township. I’m in touch with the family of one of the men pictured in the bottom row. They still haven’t had contact with him, nor the family lawyer
322 students were arrested during a peaceful strike in Tamwe, Yangon, and are detained in the Insein prison. They are sued with Penal Code 505(A), for so-called attempt of treason. They cannot be charged with a crime they never committed.

I asked one young protestor how they plan to defend themselves against the Tatmadaw. This was the response.
“We made molotovs, slingshots, nails, boiling water, and traditional Burmese swords. I have also suggested the mechanic guys create Chu Ko Nu.”
