Mobile internet and wifi were cut for an hour and a half in Myanmar during NUG’s Presser. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

There's been criticism lately of journalists who have fled Myanmar, so here are some numbers for context. 87 journalists have been arrested since the coup started. That's about 1 out of every 40. Over 5,000 civilians have been arrested. That's about 1 out of 10,000.

Limiting ordinary people’s access to information is a fundamentally breaking our rights. Lots stay under fear as many do not have access to internet. #MilitaryCoupInMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
