An alarming number of new young recruits for the junta soldiers have been captured yesterday by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) in Karen state, Myanmar.
These young individuals are seemingly being forcibly conscripted into military training and dispatched to the front lines with severe oversight and control, according to what the junta soldiers said.
The regime has sentenced Moe San Suu Kyi, the daughter of the NLD government’s Rakhine State Chief Minister Nyi Pu, to an additional five years in prison under the Counter-Terrorism Law after she already completed a six-year jail term.
