BURMA’S TWO CORE ISSUES: Constitutional Crisis and Rights of Self-Defense By Sai Wansai - March 16, 2021

It isn’t easy to pinpoint core issues in the midst of the coup-maker junta’s merciless crackdown on the public demonstrating against its illegal rule, where some 140 have been killed and over 2000 in detention, plus townships in Yangon declared martial law, to be able to control the situation.

crph.official.mm

As of March 15, a total of (2175) people have been arrested, charged or sentenced in relation to the attempted military coup on February 1. Of them, (3) were convicted; (2) to two years imprisonment, (1) to three months. (73) have been charged with a warrant and are evading arrest, (319) were released. A total of (1856) are still under detention or have outstanding charges/evading arrest, including the (3) sentenced, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).

On March 13, the much awaited state of nation speech of Acting Vice-President Mahn Win Khaing Than, the former House of Nationalities or Ahmyotha Hluttaw speaker, was made public on the Facebook of Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), which is Assembly of the Union made up of House of Representatives and House of Nationalities.

He said that despite differences now is the time for all stakeholders to hold hands and end the dictatorship for good.

“Beloved and respected brothers, sisters and all citizens now is the darkest hours of our country and as well a dawning moment (of freedom) is nearing. This is a testing time for our people on how much endurance we have (to withstand the pressure),” he said.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=44183825 3590175

In his speech he earnestly promised saying: “In order to establish federal democratic union, hand-in-hand cooperation with all concerned organizations, individuals and abolition of 2008 constitution to (pave way for) the emergence of federal democratic Constitution will utmostly be tried to implement.”

Regarding the indiscriminate, merciless crackdown of the protesters by the junta he said: “In order for the people to employ self-defense (with clear conscience) CRPH will try to draft

Page 2 of 67 and promulgate (necessary) law. Concerning civil administration issues implementation through transitional civil administration organizations will be made.”

On March 14, five-point CRPH Declaration 13/2021 outlined its position regarding the issue of self-defense, which said that it is the people’s government; has already denounced the unlawful military coup council as a terrorist group; armed forces and individuals, loyal to the terrorist group have lost their status as civil servants; according to the provisions on rights of self-defense of Chapter 4 criminal procedures the people have the full right to defend themselves; and it declared that the responses by means of self-defense according to the law by anyone either individuals or ward/village community groups or groups according to the areas or townships, shall not be considered as criminal acts.

On the same day, in what now is fast becoming to be known as “Black Sunday”, some 70 civilians protesting against the military coup were slaughtered by the junta’s police and military forces in and around Yangon, which happened in Hlaing Thar Yar, Thingangyun, South Okkalapa, North Dagon, Kyeemyindaing, Tamwe, North Okkalapa, South Dagon, Shwe Pyi Thar, and Insein townships.

Recent Facebook footage showed there that there were resistance by the protesters, with sling shots, Molotov cocktail bombs, knives and so on, unlike in the past where they were mere sitting ducks. It may well be due to the CRPH announcement position of self-defense and that retaliation is in order and not considered criminal.

On March 14 and 15, the junta declared martial law in Yangon townships of Hlaing Thar Yar and neighboring Shwepyitha, followed by North Dagon, South Dagon, Dagon Seikkan and North Okkalapa.

Federal Constitution

According to Zin Mar Aung the acting foreign minister, in order to form a national unity government an all accepted federal constitution is utmost necessary.

The ethnic political parties (EPPs) and ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) all have been demanding that the 2008 military-drafted Constitution be abolished and federal Constitution speedily adopted.

So far The Constitution of Federal Republic of the Union of Burma (Second Draft), drafted by Federal Constitution Drafting and Coordinating Committee, adopted on 12 February 2008, seems to be the only available one, although Zin Mar Aung said there are others also which have to be taken into consideration.

In this conjuncture let us look at the federal constitution’s Article 49, which writes:

Member States of the Federal Union and Federal Territories

(A) The Member States of the Federal Union:

The National States and Nationalities States are;

Page 3 of 67

1. Kachin National State 2. Karen National State 3. Karenni National State 4. Chin National State 5. Bama National State 6. Mon National State 7. Tennasarim Nationalities State 8. Arakan National State 9. Shan National State 10. Irrawaddy Nationalities State 11. ……. 12. …….

But in order to understand why the 2008 federal constitution was drafted that way can be traced to Federal Amendment Proposal of 1961, drafted by all ethnic nationalities, in Taunggyi, Shan State.

To amend the 1947 constitution, a key part of the federal proposal reads:

The provisions for equal rights and opportunities between the various states and nationalities are not adequately prescribed in the present Constitution of the Union of Burma.

The Steering Committee has therefore unanimously decided that to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all, the Constitution should be revised in accordance with the principles of a truly federal constitution.

The Steering Committee hereby resolves that in redrafting the Constitution, in accordance with genuine federal principles, the following basic requirements for ensuring equality shall be included:

1. Establishment of a Burmese State; 2. Assignment of equal powers to both Chambers of the Union Parliament; 3. Each State to be represented by an equal number of representatives in the Chamber of Nationalities; 4. The following Departments shall be vested in the Central Union, while all other powers, rights and entitlements shall be transferred to the states. (a) Foreign Affairs; (b) Union Defense; (c) Union Finance; (d) Coinage and Currency; (e) Posts and Telegraphs; (f) Railways, Airways and Waterways; (g) Union Judiciary; (h) Collection of Custom duties at Seaports. 5. Union revenue to be distributed equitably.

Page 4 of 67

Of the five basic requirements, the first needs a little more clarification: the creation of a Burmese or Bamar State. The All States Unity Organization’s document on the Federal Amendment Proposal, which was presented to U Nu in January 1962 by ethnic leaders prior to a forthcoming national conference, noted that the 1947 constitution had a fundamental problem. Prior to independence, “Burma Proper” was one element in a diarchic system of government under colonial government whereby parliamentary home rule was introduced among the Bamar majority in what became known as “Ministerial Burma”, while the non- Bamar peoples of the Frontier Areas were largely left under their traditional leaders and rulers. It was only at independence in 1948 that the two territories were constitutionally combined. However, instead of the administration of Burma Proper having a separate state government for itself, under the 1947 constitution it had come to serve as the central government as well. This meant not only a usurpation of the central powers of the government by Bamar-majority politicians in the former Burma Proper but also that the political rights of the non-Bamar territories and peoples were mostly denied.

CRPH’s notion of self-defense

Regarding self-defense and the people’s right to defend themselves from the law point of view many are at a loss on how the CRPH will be able to chip in without enforceable mechanism available.

The inputs on the Facebook concerning the Declaration of CRPH vary from asking directive, arms, demanding formation of a federal army, appointing minister of defense, speeding up alliance with the EAOs, to staging guerrilla warfare.

On the ground, the call for self-defense has been ringing for sometimes even before the declaration. But after that, there were visible increased militant resistance in many protest areas around Yangon in small groups which are yet to be systematically organized.

And as the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) humanitarian intervention evaporated, with China and Russia wielding veto as permanent members of the UNSC, only coalition of the willing is left as an option like in the case of Iraq invasion headed by the US. But this available option is also a non-starter as US priority on Burma is incomparable to Iraq and besides, its Secretary of State Antony Blinken said his country won’t get involve in costly foreign intervention.

In his speech on March 3, He said: “We will not promote democracy through costly military interventions or by attempting to overthrow authoritarian regimes by force. We have tried these tactics in the past. However well intentioned, they haven’t worked.”

Thus, there have been increasing calls for material helps and know-how to conduct self- defense by the exiled community from Burma in various countries.

The most likelihood will be alliance with the EAOs but the situation on the ground isn’t that clear, as in the first place they are roughly categorized into northern and southern groups. Page 5 of 67

The northern political alliance of Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC), includes the United Wa State Army (UWSA), National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA), Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP), Kachin Independence Army (KIA), Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and Arakan Army (AA).

Besides, there is a military alliance called National Alliance – Burma (NA-B), of which the KIA, TNLA, MNDAA and AA are involved.

The complication is that while the TNLA and KIA showed sympathy to the anti-coup movement as a whole, with the latter opening up war front in Kachin State overrunning the military or Tatmadaw’s outposts killing scores of them, the former marched to the town of Lashio, in northern Shan State very recently to show support for the protesters against the military coup and the junta.

And to make the matter more complicated, the AA which is on unofficial ceasefire term for more than four months with the Tatmadaw has even been taken out from terrorist group designation by the junta quite recently.

The southern group which is nationwide ceasefire-Signatory-ethnic armed organizations (NCA-S-EAOs) comprised of the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front (ABSDF), Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), Chin National Front (CNF), Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA), Karen National Union (KNU), KNU/Karen National Liberation Army Peace Council (KNU/KNLA PC), Pa-O National Liberation Organization (PNLO), Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), New Mon State Party (NMSP), and Lahu Democratic Union (LDU).

Although KNU and RCSS, the most strongest in the group are sympathetic and gave shelter to the fleeing individuals from junta’s persecution, due to participation in the civil disobedience movement (CDM), they stopped short of wholly endorsing the CRPH. However, both have been in constant touch with the CRPH, pending any official alliance, most likely as the adoption of the federal constitution is not yet in place.

Analysis

The first issue of national unity government and the probable alliance with the EAOs from the south is at the moment an open question, while the northern FPNCC as a whole is not in the pipeline, according to the available sources. It will however depend on the CRPH political vision and how much it can accommodate the aspirations of the ethnic nationalities regarding the political future of the country and how core problem of constitutional crisis will be resolved.

As for the issue of self-defense, it will hinge on if the national unity government can be formed, which will include the EAOs. This will enable the CRPH to spread its influence on the ground to include ethnic states as a government as the EAOs have sizable areas of control and will be able to support its claim of legitimacy in a true practical sense, including the support of the movement in Bamar heartland, in enforcing and implementing self- defense for its people.

Page 6 of 67

Meanwhile, the junta is out to crush the anti-coup movement using martial law and would come down brutally to achieve its aim.

For now, it is hard to imagine on how the country’s situation will develop further, with China sucking into the quagmire between the public and the junta, as Chinese industries were said to be attacked by the protesters, which they denied as being framed by the junta to give reason to crackdown on them.

Unconfirmed news said that the junta has targeted March 27 to be able to crush the people’s movement and regain control. But whether it will achieve its goal or not for the time being is an open question, as the people are determined to struggle for a long haul to put an end to the military dictatorship, once and for all.

Myanmar Crackdown on Protesters Kills 25 as Junta Imposes 24-Hour Mobile Internet Shutdown

2021-03-15

UPDATED on 2021-03-16

At least 25 people were shot dead Monday as anti-coup protesters in multiple cities braved increasing violence by security forces following a bloody weekend that killed scores of protesters in Myanmar’s largest city, witnesses said.

The junta that overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government on Feb. 1 also imposed a 24-hour shutdown of mobile internet service in an attempt to cut off lines of communication among protesters and other members of a nationwide civil disobedience movement (CDM) that has opposed military rule for six weeks.

The suspension of internet service forced court officials in the capital Naypyidaw to postpone a videoconference hearing of the 75-year-old deposed leader, who has been under house arrest since the coup and is facing a handful of what supporters say are spurious charges.

Aung San Suu Kyi faces charges of alleged incitement, violation of telecommunication laws, possession of “illegally” imported walkie-talkie radios, violation of the Natural Disaster

Management Law for breaching COVID-19 pandemic restrictions during the 2020 election campaign, and corruption.

Eleven of the protesters killed Monday were slain in violent crackdowns in the cities of Mandalay, Yangon, and Magway, and in Shan state, witnesses said.

In Myingyan, a town in central Myanmar’s Mandalay region, five protesters died and 13 were seriously injured when police and soldiers sprayed tear gas and shot live ammunition at crowds.

RFA has recorded at least 170 deaths as of Monday, including 60 deaths across the country on Sunday, the bloodiest day since the coup.

In a statement from Geneva on Tuesday, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said the agency had confirmed that “at least 149 people have been arbitrarily deprived of their lives since (Feb. 1), as a result of unlawful use of lethal force against peaceful protestors in Myanmar."

“Of these, at least 11 were killed on Monday, and 57 over the weekend. There are many more reports of further killings that we have been not been able to corroborate yet,” Shamdasani said.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is “appalled by the escalating violence in Myanmar at the hands of the country’s military,” his spokesman said in a statement.

“The killing of demonstrators, arbitrary arrests, and the reported torture of prisoners violate fundamental human rights and stand in clear defiance of calls by the Security Council for restraint, dialogue and a return to Myanmar’s democratic path,” said spokesman Stéphane Dujarric.

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a watchdog group, said that as of Monday, 2,175 people had been arrested, charged, or sentenced in relation to the military coup, with 1,856 still being held or with outstanding warrants. More than 70 people are in hiding, it said.

In Myanmar’s second-largest city, Mandalay, two men died when police and soldiers fired at anti-junta protest column, witnesses said. Rallies were held in other parts of the city, with schoolteachers staging a sit-in protest and attorneys riding motorbikes on town streets in defiance of the military.

One column of about 3,000 protesters that set out around 9 a.m. Monday from Thonzu Pagoda was confronted and shot at by 50 police officers and soldiers an hour later near the Electric Power Corporation office, said a protester in Mandalay’s Myingyan township.

“Three people died at the private clinics we sent them to,” he said. “An elderly Muslim woman from a nearby house who had opened her doors to protesters to hide them also was killed by gunfire. The other two were middle-aged men.”

At least five people in all died amid the violence, including two from a university student union, and four of the many wounded protesters are in critical condition, he said.

Violence in Yangon townships

In Hlaingthaya township, a factory zone west of Yangon, a bystander died at a road intersection when police and soldiers fired indiscriminately, witnesses said. At least 50 people died near the same site on Sunday when police and soldiers positioned on a flyover fired at civilians on the streets below with live rounds.

In Yangon’s Tamwe township, groups of young people held an anti-junta rally on Kyaikkasan Road, where one man died by police gunfire Sunday afternoon. Similar protests were reported in three other townships in Yangon, the country’s former capital and commercial center.

In one a video that went viral on social media, policemen on Sunday were recorded dragging away Khant Nyar Hein, an 18-year-old first-year medical student who was shot in the street during a protest in Tamwe. Authorities asked his family to retrieve the young man's body Monday morning, his father said.

The military regime has declared martial law in six Yangon satellite townships — North Okkalapa, North Dagon, South Dagon, Dagon Seikkan, Hlaingthaya, and Shwepyitha — areas overseen by the Yangon region military commander.

The Chinese Embassy in Yangon issued a statement Monday calling for legal action against those responsible for setting ablaze Chinese-funded garment factories in an industrial zone a day earlier in which Chinese workers were trapped and injured.

In Shwepyitha township, local residents tried to extinguish a fire at the Solamoda Garments Co. Ltd. factory that spread to a nearby backpack factory. But the buildings were still burning at the time of publication on Monday.

RFA was unable to obtain first-hand details about the fires because of the growing number of arrests of or threats against journalists by local authorities.

Sunday’s factory zone protest deaths prompted an appeal for pressure on apparel manufacturers to support striking workers from Myanmar, said Simon Billenness, executive director of the International Campaign for the Rohingya.

“The young, mostly female, garment workers are the forefront of the civil disobedience movement” and launched a general strike on March 8 to support restoring democracy, he wrote.

Page 9 of 67

“But the apparel factory owners are intimidating and even firing workers for going on strike and taking part in pro-democracy protests,” added Billenness.

He said major textile buyers, including sportswear maker Adidas, Zara clothing brand owner Indetex Group, and supermarket chain Lidl, are among the global brands that have “significant market power” to “support the garment workers by demanding that the factory owners stop intimidating workers who join CDM protests.”

Germany-based Adidas, the only one of the three firms to respond to an RFA request for comment, said on March 12 that six of its 525 suppliers are located in Myanmar.

“We are in close exchange with other brands, industry associations, and civil society organizations about the current situation,” said Stefan Pursche, senior manager for media relations at Adidas.

Rubber bullets, live rounds

Also on Monday, two men were killed and four others were injured when security forces opened fired on a group in Aunglan township, Magwe region, a resident said.

“When people fled the scene, police took away five motorcycles left on the roads,” the local said. “A huge crowd later surrounded the police station, and that was when they started shooting. They used both rubber bullets as well as live rounds, and six people got hit.”

In Pathein, the capital of Ayeyarwady region, police and military attacked residents as they prepared for nighttime protests, killing three people and critically injuring another five, a witness told RFA.

In Aungban, a major trading town in southern Shan state, one protester died and two others were injured during a crackdown by police and soldiers, witnesses said.

The Naypyidaw hearings for detained State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, who also faces charges, were rescheduled for March 24 because of the internet service shutdown.

The police notified Yuyu Chit and Min Min Soe, two junior attorneys from Aung San Suu Kyi’s defense team, that they would receive a signed transfer of power of attorney to represent the state counselor at the hearing, said defense attorney Khin Maung Zaw.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s legal team submitted applications for seven attorneys to represent her at court, but only two were approved, he added.

Page 10 of 67

Now that military authorities have extended the internet service shutdown from nighttime to around-the-clock, companies and ordinary residents say they are having problems conducting business.

Phone lines and internet service were first shut down on Feb. 1, but were available the next day. The services were suspended again on Feb. 6-7, but resumed the following day. As of Feb. 15, internet service has been cut off daily between 1 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Monthly internet service subscribers with fiber-optic lines said they were able to go online Monday morning, but that Wi-Fi services provided by the companies Ooredoo and Telenor were not available.

An Ooredoo spokesperson said she did not know when the company would be able to make the service available. A computer-generated reply to phone queries said that internet service had been suspended temporarily in accordance with instructions from the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

“The military authorities want to control the communications between protesters of the Spring Revolution,” said a man from Yangon’s Insein township who declined to give his name, referring to the domestic civil resistance efforts in opposition to the coup d'état. “Wi- Fi is not available everywhere, but with the mobile data, they can communicate very easily.”

Rural residents, women stuck

Others said they believed the internet service shutdown was an attempt by the junta to stop people from live-streaming acts of violence by soldiers and police during protests.

Rural residents who depend on mobile internet service to transfer money and conduct business online said they were stuck, especially since nearly all banks have remained closed for weeks. Women whose husbands are migrant workers and routinely transfer remittances online also are in a bind.

“There are many women here who need to go to the hospital for various reasons, and some of their husbands who are in Thailand, China or Malaysia now find it impossible to send money home,” said a man who works at a money transfer services in Yinmabin, Sagaing region.

RFA could not reach military regime spokesman Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun for comment on the shootings or the internet shutdown.

Continuing Brutality by Myanmar Military Junta Pushes Death Toll to 193

By The Irrawaddy 16 March 2021

Two more people, including a pedestrian, were shot dead and three were wounded Tuesday by the military regime’s security forces when they fired on anti-regime protesters in Yangon and Sagaing regions.

As of Tuesday, Myanmar’s protest-related death toll since the military’s Feb.1 coup totaled 193.

On Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of protesters returning home from an anti-regime demonstration in Sagaing Region’s Kawlin Township were fired upon by security forces while they were surrounding a man accused of being an informer for the military regime.

During the shooting, a male protester was shot dead and another was injured. Three protesters were arrested.

In the evening, police and soldiers used live rounds and stun grenades in cracking down on protesters who had gathered in front of the township’s police station demanding the release of three detainees, according to residents and news reports by Sagaing Region- based media.

During the shooting, two more protesters were wounded.

On Tuesday morning, a male pedestrian was reportedly shot dead by security forces removing roadblocks in Yangon’s South Dagon Township.

A witness told The Irrawaddy that the man was deliberately shot dead while he was walking along the roadside, despite the fact there was no protest near the area.

Security forces also removed roadblocks set up by protesters to protect the anti-regime demonstrations from crackdowns across Yangon on Tuesday.

Police and soldiers also took violent action against an anti-regime protest near the Bayintnaung junction in Yangon’s Mayangone Township.

On Monday, 23 protesters were reported killed by riot control and military personnel across several major cities, including Myingyan, Mandalay, Thabeikkyin, Monywa, Bogo, Govbingauk, Aunglan and Yangon.

Security forces of the military regime killed at least 73 protesters on Sunday, making it the country’s bloodiest day since the Feb. 1 coup.

Amid the deadly crackdowns, tens of thousands of people across Myanmar have taken to the street day and night to protest the military regime.

Eleven killed in anti-coup demonstrations after Myanmar’s deadliest day March 16, 2021 | By AFP Soldiers, seen here in Yangon on February 15, are cracking down on demonstrators with increasing lethality, as the civilian death toll continues to rise. (Frontier)

Those killed on Monday were shot dead in several locations in the country’s central regions, amid a nationwide mobile internet block. At least 11 anti-coup protesters were killed across Myanmar on Monday as demonstrators returned to the streets after the deadliest day since the military seized power from civilian leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

At least 44 protesters were killed Sunday as security forces cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations, taking the death toll since the coup to more than 120, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners monitoring group.

Those killed on Monday were shot dead in several locations in the country’s central regions, and witnesses said the military was again using lethal force against protesters.

“Two men were killed because of gunshots and six others were injured,” a witness in Magway region’s Aunglan town told AFP, adding that one of the dead was shot in the chest.

“He was right besides me. Another one got shot in his head.”

The country has been in uproar since the putsch, with daily protests demanding a restoration of democracy despite the junta’s increasingly forceful attempts to quell dissent.

The bulk of the earlier deaths on Sunday came from a clash in a garment-producing district in the capital Yangon where multiple Chinese-owned factories were razed, drawing a sharp rebuke Monday from Beijing, which urged Myanmar to “resolutely avoid a recurrence of such incidents”.

Despite the high death toll, protesters returned to the streets Monday but six fatalities were also reported in the city of Myingyan.

Page 13 of 67

Among those dead were “three people, including a woman … with gunshots,” said a Myingyan resident.

Both witnesses who spoke to AFP declined to be named for fear of repercussions.

There was a further death in the city of Monywa, state media said, while two men in their 20s were killed on the spot in Mandalay, according to a local doctor and an AFP reporter.

News of the violence came out in the afternoon due to a block on mobile data networks across Myanmar – which also scuppered a scheduled video court appearance by Aung San Suu Kyi.

The court hearing for the Nobel laureate – who spent more than 15 years under house arrest during previous military rule – was scheduled for 10am in Myanmar’s capital Nay Pyi Taw, but it was postponed until March 24, her lawyer Khin Maung Zaw told AFP.

“There’s no court hearing because there’s no internet and the hearing is conducted by video conference … We cannot do video,” he said.

Myanmar authorities have throttled the internet every night for several weeks, normally restoring services in the morning, but monitoring service Netblocks said mobile data networks were kept offline Monday.

Suu Kyi faces at least four charges.

Military authorities have also accused her of accepting illegal payments – allegations her lawyer says are “groundless”.

Martial law

Suu Kyi’s postponed hearing came a day after violent clashes between security forces and protesters, which also saw the torching of several Chinese-owned factories in a textile- producing district of commercial hub Yangon as many protesters believe Beijing is supportive of the coup.

Six Yangon townships were under martial law by morning – anyone arrested there faces trial by military tribunal rather than civilian courts, with sentences ranging from three years’ hard labour to execution.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian described the incidents as “nasty” on Monday.

China “is very concerned about the impact on the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel,” he told reporters in Beijing, adding the Myanmar security forces had reinforced the area around the factories.

“China will continue to urge Myanmar to take concrete steps to stop all acts of violence and bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of Chinese people’s life and property.”

Taiwan, meanwhile, advised its companies in Myanmar to fly the island’s flag to avoid being targeted.

State-run television confirmed on Monday that a police officer was shot dead in the city of Bago, northeast of Yangon, during a protest.

‘Junta leaders don’t belong in power’

International alarm over the bloodshed is growing, but so far Myanmar’s generals have shown no signs of heeding calls for restraint.

Tom Andrews, United Nations special rapporteur on rights in Myanmar, tweeted that he was “heartbroken/outraged” at Sunday’s events.

“Junta leaders don’t belong in power, they belong behind bars,” he wrote.

“Their supply of cash & weapons must be cut now.”

UN envoy for Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener also condemned Sunday’s bloodshed, while the country’s former colonial ruler Britain said it was “appalled” by the use of force “against innocent people”.

Last week, Andrews said there was growing evidence that the junta was committing crimes against humanity – including murder, forced disappearances and torture.

Amnesty International has also accused the Myanmar military of premeditated killings and using battlefield weapons on unarmed protesters.

Myanmar’s Military Regime Hands Down Prison Sentences to Striking Civil Servants

By The Irrawaddy | 16 March 2021

Myanmar’s military regime has sentenced ten civil servants to prison terms for joining the civil disobedience movement (CDM). The ten include two police officers and eight staff from the Cooperative Department. They are the first civil servants to be sent to jail for their participation in the CDM.

Maintenance of Discipline Law. The two brothers were arrested on Feb. 3 for posting on Facebook that they opposed the military regime, but their sentences were only made public on Monday.

Ko THurein Linn livestreamed on Facebook before his arrest saying, “Down with the dictatorship” in a video.

Local news outlet the Ayeyarwaddy Times quoted the father of the two men as saying, “I am proud of my two sons as they were imprisoned for opposing the military dictatorship.”

Seven women and a man from Naypyitaw’s Lewe Township Cooperative Department who took part in the CDM were also sentenced last week to three months imprisonment each under the Penal Code’s Article 188(b) for “defying orders”.

A lawyer from Naypyitaw said the court sentenced the defendants in a rush without hearing from all of the defense team’s witnesses.

The legal action against the civil servants on strike comes at a time when the military government mechanism has been paralyzed by the CDM for over a month. Since the Feb. 1 coup, doctors have left hospitals, bank tellers stayed home and trains rarely left their stations as staff refuse to work under the men in uniform.

Furious at the collective resistance, the junta has threatened strikers with arrests and evictions from government housing.

As the CDM continues to spread nationwide, the junta started to arrest around 50 civil servants who have gone on strike in protest at the military’s Feb.1 coup. Doctors, engineers, teachers, railway staff, directors and managers of governmental departments and administrative staff are among those who have been detained. A person who gave shelter to CDM staff and another who cooked for CDM staff were also arrested.

Several civil servants and doctors who face arrest have gone into hiding to evade detention.

The junta has also dismissed or suspended many striking civil servants from their jobs across the country. Others have been forced to move from government housing. Among the recent suspensions are 73 senior officers, including deputy directors and assistant directors, who were suspended from their jobs on March 11.

Around 1,000 workers and their families living at the staff quarters at Myanma Railways’ Mahlwagone locomotive shed in Yangon’s Mingalar Taung Nyunt Township fled their homes last week after security forces raided their neighborhood. The railway workers there have joined the CDM in protest at the military regime.

On Sunday, staff at the Sao San Htun Hospital in Shan State’s capital Taunggyi who have joined the CDM were threatened with being evicted from the staff housing unless they return to work by March 15.

Around 70 doctors and health workers from the hospital moved from the staff housing rather than return to work under the military regime. A number of doctors from the Sao San Htun Hospital went into hiding last month to avoid arrest.

One doctor who went into hiding told the BBC in a recent interview that they will continue their strike until the junta falls.

In Chin State, health workers from the Kanpetlet Township hospital were forced to move from the staff quarters after soldiers and police established a base at the hospital, according to local news outlet Chin World.

Under Martial Law, Myanmar Military Commanders Empowered to Issue Death Penalty

By The Irrawaddy | 16 March 2021

Yangon — Myanmar’s military governing body, the State Administrative Council (SAC), has threatened anti-regime protesters with the death penalty in townships under martial law.

The SAC initially declared martial law in Hlaing Tharyar and Shwepyithar townships in Yangon on Sunday following its violent crackdown, the deadliest day since the Feb. 1 coup. Martial law was imposed on South Dagon, North Dagon, Dagon Seikkan and North Okkalapa townships in Yangon and parts of Mandalay on Monday.

Page 17 of 67

The announcement on state broadcaster MRTV late on Sunday said Yangon’s regional commander has been entrusted with administrative, judicial and military powers in the city.

Those who commit one of 23 “offenses” in those townships will be tried in military courts and face penalties ranging from death, indefinite jail terms with labor and the maximum possible punishments under existing legislation, according to the orders signed by the SAC secretary, Lieutenant-General Aung Lin Dwe.

The offenses include high treason, sedition, obstructing military personnel and civil servants performing their duties, instigation, incitement, spreading “false” news, possession of weapons, ties to unlawful associations, homicide, rape, robbery, corruption, drug abuse and vandalism.

Other offenses concern violations of the Immigration Act, Media Law, Printing and Publishing Act, Ward or Village-Tract Administration Law, Electronic Transactions Law and Counterterrorism Law.

Those sentenced to death and harsh penalties can only appeal to the SAC chairman and Yangon regional commander, the announcement said.

Residents flee violence, martial law in Yangon factory district

March 16, 2021 | By FRONTIER & AFP Families flee violence and martial law in Yangon's industrial Hlaing Tharyar Township on the morning of March 16.

Hlaing Tharyar Township residents began fleeing the city en masse Tuesday morning, after the military brutally cracked down on protests on Sunday, leaving dozens dead, and suspended civil law there.

Thousands of residents of Yangon’s western industrial Hlaing Tharyar Township began evacuating Tuesday morning, after the military regime placed it and five other Yangon townships under martial law following deadly weekend clashes between protesters and security forces.

The military declared martial law in Hlaing Tharyar on the night of March 14, after police used live rounds to crack down on demonstrations by factory workers, leaving dozens dead.

On Tuesday morning, residents of the densely-populated township set out on motorbikes and in trucks and tuk-tuks, journeying back to their home villages. Many of those leaving are

Page 18 of 67

thought to be migrants who came to work in Hlaing Tharyar’s garment factories, many of which are now closed.

“Many of them are migrant workers. Instability after the coup led to job losses, and then martial law,” said U Aung Khin Myint, a township resident.

But Aung Khin Myint said he wants people in other townships to know that plenty of his neighbours are sticking around to resist the regime.

“Many locals are [staying]. They are still fighting [against military rule],” he said.

Hlaing Tharyar is one of six Yangon townships the military regime placed under martial law in the wake of Sunday’s violence, covering more than a quarter of the city’s population – just over 2 million people. Anyone arrested in these townships can face trial by military tribunal, with sentences ranging from three years’ hard labour to execution.

Myanmar law expert Ms Melissa Crouch said the martial law declaration effectively gave complete control to military commanders and sidelined civilian administrators and judges.

“The use of martial law is extremely troubling and … represents a significant decline in the situation in Myanmar,” the University of New South Wales academic said.

The total death toll from Sunday’s violence is not known, but more than 70 people are thought to have died across the country. Hlaing Tharyar locals told Frontier that more than 40 people were killed there over the weekend by security forces and would be buried at the nearby Htein Pin Cemetery that afternoon, though Frontier could not independently confirm that number.

Hundreds of police remain stationed throughout the township, which is covered in makeshift hideouts and sandbag-and-tire barricades that residents have erected to slow advancing security forces.

The most reliable population figures for Hlaing Tharyar, from the 2014 census, put the number of residents at almost 700,000. However, more recent estimates for the township, which has grown rapidly in recent years, put its population as high as 1 million. It is also home to more factories than any other township in the commercial capital.

Before the crackdown on Sunday, demonstrators threatened to burn nearby factories if police fired live rounds, holding up placards that morning that said for each protester killed a Chinese-owned factory would be “turned to ash”; by that evening, several, mostly Chinese-owned factories lay smouldering.

As violence and insecurity have grown in the city, journalists – who, like protesters, had until now mostly feared arrests and live rounds from security forces – are increasingly facing a growing hostility from protesters too.

“Every street has a neighborhood security team, and people carry sticks and swords to protect themselves. Journalists are not locals, so I have to explain to them very clearly [what

Page 19 of 67

we’re doing],” a journalist in Hlaing Tharyar told Frontier on Tuesday. “Some accept it. Some do not.”

When Frontier covered the crackdown on Sunday night, several protesters accused our journalist and other media workers of being military spies, and cursed and bared weapons when we tried to photograph buildings and bridges in flames.

The violence that night capped the country’s deadliest day so far since crackdowns on protests began in mid-February, with the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners monitoring group saying 74 people died nationwide and putting the total number killed since February 1 at 183. More than 2,000 have been detained and a similar number are being actively prosecuted, it says.

‘Not in the interests of Myanmar’

The US once again condemned the violence, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday accusing the military of “brutally repressing” protesters with lethal force.

The US State Department had previously called on all countries to “take concrete actions” to oppose the military regime.

“The junta has responded to call for the restoration of democracy in Burma with bullets,” State Department spokesperson Jalina Porter said on Monday.

China also spoke out on Monday, saying it was “very concerned” for the safety of its citizens in Myanmar after Sunday’s violence – which state media said saw more than 30 factories attacked, causing $37 million in damage.

Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian urged Myanmar to take actions to “resolutely avoid a recurrence of such incidents”.

“The actions of these outlaws are not in the interests of Myanmar and its people,” he told reporters in Beijing.

“China will continue to urge Myanmar to take concrete steps to stop all acts of violence and bring the perpetrators to justice.”

Youth Detained in Military Camps Across Chin State Tuesday, March 16, 2021 | Khonumthung News

While one Chin youth was released from a military detention camp in Thantlang Township last week, at least nine others are believed to still be in custody in Matupi, Falam, and Hakha townships in Chin State. Page 20 of 67

Soldiers arrested Salai Cung Bwi Lian in Thantlang at night on March 10. He was freed on the evening of March 11, according to local sources.

“Soldiers suspected him of bringing a policeman who had joined the Civil Disobedience Movement from Thantlang to Hakha on his motorbike. He was detained in a military camp,” another Thantlang youth told Khonumthung News.

Once Salai Cung Bwi Lian was taken into state custody, young people from Thantlang coordinated and called various officials asking that they treat the young man humanely and not beat him during their interrogation.

Soldiers also arrested four youth, including a pastor, in Matupi town on the night of March 10. They remain in military custody.

Family members, town elders and other pastors have signed a pledge at the military camp that the detainees would not participate in any resistance activities in exchange for their release.

“The parents didn’t complain. They had to sign the pledge that these people would not join protests in the future,” a Matupi local told Khonumthung News.

He said that a military officer had promised that the detained would be released on Thursday, but at the time of reporting, they remained in detention.

The four youth arrested in Matupi were taken away by soldiers while running errands for their families. While the pastor and engineer were reportedly not beaten by soldiers, the other two individuals were kicked by the troops for resisting arrest.

A Return to the Comfort Zone is Not Enough: We Must Fight for Truly Inclusive Freedom

By teacircleoxford | Posted on March 16, 2021

Bella Aung calls for recognizing minorities’ contributions to ongoing anti-coup protests.

On the cozy morning of Sunday, January 31, I was discussing Burmese politics with a dear one over breakfast. I unsuspectingly and nonchalantly said, “I think there will be a coup some time.” When, within the next 24 hours, the coup happened, I was taken aback by how fast it came but not surprised at all by its occurrence. Maybe my indigenous Karen-Mon ancestry combined with a childhood under Than Shwe’s military junta conditioned me to believe that the Tatmadaw will always be evil.

When Aung San Suu Kyi’s government finally took over in 2015, I was already part of the Burmese diaspora in North America. Yet, I celebrated along with those within the country, hoping for a better quality of life for historically oppressed populations. My celebration did

Page 21 of 67

not last long. Very soon, I realized that civil wars were still happening, countless internally displaced people (IDPs) were still suffering, and the military’s genocide of the Rohingyas was defended by Suu Kyi herself at the International Court of Justice. Despite all this and Suu Kyi’s subsequent fall from grace internationally, her NLD party won a landslide victory again in the 2020 general elections.

I would first like to acknowledge that ethnic and religious minorities were slightly better off under the NLD government compared to the previous juntas. There is no doubt that these communities are already much worse off under Min Aung Hlaing’s reign of terror. But will it be enough for minorities to just go back to an NLD regime?

The answer is a resounding no.

Why? Because indigenous activists have been at the forefront of many mass protests against the current military coup in Myanmar. Despite their intergenerational trauma resulting from countless conflicts instigated by the Tatmadaw in the Ethnic States, indigenous IDPs are bravely standing against the military junta. Many Bamar people have been negligent about the massacre of ethnic and religious minorities by the Tatmadaw until now, yet armed forces who were once called “rebels” by the Bamar are looking out for the safety of civilians protesting against the junta.

One of the first mass protests against the military coup in Yangon this month was led by two young women dressed in traditional Karen regalia, in recognition of Myanmar’s diversity, and in solidarity with the country’s minorities. Photos of an elderly Muslim man jumping in front of the youth protestors to protect them when rubber bullets were fired made rounds on social media. Rohingyas both inside and outside the country gave three-finger salutes – a gesture now synonymous with dissent against the military coup. Protests in the Ethnic States are met with violence from the police and the military but remain severely underreported compared to those in Bamar-dominant urban areas. Yet indigenous people there are continuing their fight against the junta.

All these actions take an enormous amount of resilience. More importantly, they also take love for the shared homeland, Myanmar, a love so deep and so courageous that it overcomes almost a century of nationalist oppression and marginalization – whether intentional or unintentional – by the Bamar majority. Min Aung Hlaing’s junta is not capable of this love in any capacity. Suu Kyi’s NLD sometimes attempts inclusion but often falls short of creating it. The demands of ethnic and religious minorities in this fight against the junta are simple – rather than a return to civilian government, we long for a true federal democracy; A Myanmar where our cultures and traditions would not be erased by systemic Burmanization, where our children would not have to grow up in IDP and refugee camps because of violent ethnic conflicts, and where our women could exist without having to fear the Tatmadaw’s soldiers inflicting rape as a weapon of war.

Only minorities who have actively chosen to prioritize the true freedom of Myanmar over their intergenerational trauma know how to build this new Myanmar, a country they have always envisioned out of love since the Panglong Agreement. It is now time for the Bamar

Page 22 of 67 majority to join forces with these minorities and fight for a truly inclusive and free country that everyone deserves. A return to the comfort zone is not enough.

Policemen, firemen among over 400 Myanmar nationals seeking shelter in India Published 16 March 2021 | The Daily Star/ANN

More than 400 people from Myanmar, many of them policemen, have crossed into neighbouring India since late February, an Indian police officer said on Monday, as Myanmar security forces seek to crush pro-democracy demonstrators after last month's coup.

The policemen said they had fled because they feared persecution after refusing to obey the military's orders to shoot protesters.

"About 116 crossed on Friday," the police officer in the Indian state of Mizoram told Reuters, declining to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. They included policemen and firemen, some of whom carried only clothes stuffed into white plastic sacks as they crossed the border.

India's federal government has ordered local authorities to stop the influx but the mountain terrain is porous and hard to patrol. There are also close ethnic and cultural ties between the people on the two sides of the remote border. Around 140 people have died so far and thousands detained in Myanmar since the Feb. 1 military coup. Protesters continue to take to the streets in defiance of the authorities, who have used rubber bullets, tear gas and live ammunition to stop them. On Monday security forces shot dead six people taking part in pro-democracy demonstrations, media and witnesses said. Myanmar's military says it is exercising great restraint in handling what it describes as demonstrations by "riotous protesters" whom it accuses of attacking police and harming national security and stability. 'I SUPPORT THE CDM' One of the largest groups of recent arrivals in India - numbering around 100 - are housed in a village in Mizoram's Champhai district, a short drive on rough mountain roads from the Tiau river that marks the border between the two countries. Page 23 of 67

A handful of them sat in a sunlit room on Monday, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes and hunched over their phones. One watched Facebook videos of protesters clashing with Myanmar security forces.

Among those sheltering in the village, which local community leaders asked not to name, was a fire department official from Myanmar's Chin state who gave his name only as Khaw.

The official said his superiors had asked him on February 18 to hose down and disperse anti- coup demonstrators.

Khaw, 34, said he had refused the order and stopped going to work, along with 20 other firemen.

"I support the CDM," he said, referring to the civil disobedience movement against Myanmar's military.

"I didn't want to be under the control of the military," he said, speaking through an interpreter, adding that 16 other Myanmar firemen had also sought shelter in the Indian village.

Reuters was not in a position to verify his account. A spokesman for the military could not be reached for comment.

Last week, some Myanmar police who fled to India told Reuters they had been ordered to directly shoot at protesters.

But Khaw's account is among the first from emergency service officials fleeing Myanmar after disobeying orders.

Khaw said he did not carry any Myanmar ID in case he was caught by the country's security forces, but he showed Reuters recent photos of himself in a fireman's uniform.

After joining the civil disobedience movement, Khaw said he hid in a forested area of Chin state with around 30 others.

On March 3, Myanmar security forces discovered their hideout, forcing him to flee the country, leaving behind his wife and four children.

Asked about his family's safety, Khaw said: "That's my biggest fear."

Myanmar Regime Seizes Bank Accounts of Soros' Open Society Foundation

By The Irrawaddy | 16 March 2021

The military regime has seized control of the bank accounts of billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF) in Myanmar and announced that it will take legal action against the foundation, which is accused of violating restrictions on the activities of such organizations.

On Monday, military-controlled MRTV announced that the military had issued arrest warrants for 11 staff members of OSF Myanmar, including its head and deputy head, on suspicion of giving financial support to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.

The regime also claimed that the world’s largest private funder for justice, democratic governance and human rights had failed to obtain approval from the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM)’s Foreign Exchange Management Department for a deposit of US$5 million (7.04 billion kyats) with the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Bank (SMED) in Myanmar in 2018.

The foundation is also accused of illegally withdrawing $1.4 million from its account at SMED a week after the military takeover in Myanmar, as the civil disobedience movement was gaining momentum among civil servants across the country.

The military junta also took control of assets totaling $3.81 million and 375 million kyats in OSF bank accounts at four private banks—Kanbawza Bank (KBZ), Ayeyarwady Bank (AYA), SMED and Co-operative Bank (CB), according to MRTV.

The military said it had begun taking control of all illegal flows of money to OSF Myanmar, saying the foundation had breached the law that lays downs the rules and regulations for organizations in the country.

It said it would take legal action against SMED for allowing OSF to deposit $5 million and withdraw $1.4 million without obtaining approval from the CBM.

On March 12, the CBM notified all international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that they would be required to report all financial transactions involving international organizations or individuals from abroad, with relevant bank account information, since April 1, 2016. The order indicates that the military regime intends to investigate the financial transactions of organizations since the National League for Democracy (NLD) took office in early 2016.

The regime said the opening of the OSF Myanmar office came about after George Soros met ousted Myanmar State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi four times between 2014 and 2017. It said OSF deputy chair Alexander Soros met Daw Aung San Suu Kyi six times from 2017 to 2020.

Page 25 of 67

Military-aligned groups including the Union Solidarity and Development Party have accused Soros of manipulating Myanmar’s politics by supporting civil society organizations in the country. In 2017, lawmaker U Soe Thane, who served as President’s Office minister under U Thein Sein’s administration, objected to a ministerial appointment by the NLD government on grounds that the appointed minister had failed to disclose his previous work for the George Soros Foundation. He said that making the official a national security adviser could hurt Myanmar’s relations with China.

OSF has been supporting Myanmar’s democratic transition and promoting human rights, including those of marginalized groups, since 1994. The foundation said it had awarded more than 100 grants each year, mostly to grassroots civil society organizations including exile, ethnic media and educational organizations.

Following the coup, the military regime launched an investigation into the finances of the Daw Khin Kyi Foundation, a charity founded by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The move is believed to be a pretext to file more charges against the country’s de facto leader.

Protests Force Myanmar’s Ethnic Chinese to Distinguish Themselves From China 2021-03-16 A Myanmar anti-junta protester prepares to throw a Molotov cocktail from behind a street barricade in Yangon, March 16, 2021. RFA

Defiant anti-junta protests in Yangon and cities across Myanmar were suppressed by military gunfire that killed five protesters Tuesday, as grieving families buried their dead from violence in Yangon and China issued a warning to protect Chinese businesses after dozens were vandalized, looted and burned in previous days.

The five slain protesters raised to 181 the death toll RFA has recorded as of Tuesday, including four additional fatalities from Monday, in the six weeks of protests since the Feb. 1 military coup that deposed the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Tuesday saw emotive scenes as bereaved families held funerals of people killed by security forces, including Khat Nyar Hein, a first-year medical student and member of the country’s ethnic Chinese community who was shot dead by the police in Yangon on Sunday, the deadliest day since the coup.

“Today I lost my son. He was a good son. My heart aches. My heart is full of pain,” said the young man’s mother, speaking in Mandarin.

Page 26 of 67

Security forces shot 17-year-old Khant Nyar Hein in the head on Sunday during anti-coup protests in Yangon’s Tamwe township. Citizen video shows police approaching his body, beating up and arresting a young woman who was trying to help him, then later dragging his body away.

His mother pleaded in a video posted on social media for Myanmar’s people to differentiate between ethnic Chinese citizens of the Southeast Asian country, who are among the millions of Myanmar people who oppose the coup, and the People’s Republic of China in Beijing.

‘I don’t love your government’

China has protected the junta from international diplomatic pressure at the United Nations, but called for legal action over arson attacks on dozens of Chinese-invested garment factories in Yangon on Sunday.

“I am authentic Chinese, but I don’t love your government there. Not a single bit,” the slain student’s mother said in comments apparently directed at Beijing.

The father of Khant Nyar Hein also weighed in, saying “I hope [the Chinese government] will have sympathy for ethnic Chinese people in Myanmar and for our democracy movement and overturn this coup government.”

Like the ethnic Chinese in Myanmar, democratic Taiwan has taken great pains since the weekend attacks to inform the local population that it has no connection to China.

Taiwan’s representative office in Myanmar has “suggested Taiwanese businesspeople hang signs in Burmese reading ‘Taiwanese company’ at their factories and to hang our country’s national flag, and explain to local workers and neighbors they are a Taiwanese factory, to avoid outsiders getting confused and misjudging,” Reuters news agency reported on Monday from Taipei.

Ethnic Chinese, one of multiethnic Myanmar’s 135 recognized ethnic groups, make up about three percent of the country’s population of 54 million.

After arson attacks on 32 Chinese-funded factories in several Yangon townships Sunday and Monday, causing what China’s state media was nearly 240 million yuan (U.S. $37 million) in damages, Beijing stepped up pressure on military authorities to quell the protests and to protect Chinese interests in the country.

“The rising anti-China sentiment could strain the relationship between the two countries and put the already besieged Myanmar economy under greater duress,” said an editorial by China’s state-run CGTN.

“If it is proven that Myanmar cannot ensure the safety of foreign investments and personnel, it wouldn't only turn off Chinese investment but all investment from overseas,’ it said on Monday.

Page 27 of 67

“Chinese businesses create a large number of employment opportunities and help promote Myanmar’s economic and social development,” it said. “We hope the Myanmar side will take further effective measures to ensure the safety of life and property of Chinese enterprises and personnel.”

Martial law

Myanmar political analyst Than Soe Naing told RFA that “the situation became worse when the two Chinese factories in Hlaingthaya and Shwepyitha townships were hit” in arson attacks Monday.

“The declaration of martial law is the result of the Chinese Embassy’s call for an effective deterrent action,” he said, echoing the widespread belief that China can influence the junta.

Despite rising risk of death or injury from the increasingly aggressive junta forces, defiant anti-junta protests carried on in the cities of Yangon, Mandalay, Magway, Monywa, and Loikaw and in other parts of the country, which is the size of France.

Security forces killed two protesters were killed in Kawlin, in the northwestern region of Sagaing, as more than 3,000 demonstrators rallied at the township administrator’s residence, witnesses said.

One of the people killed was a man in his 40s who was hit when police dispersed crowds in front of the residence, said a witness who did not provide his name.

“The bullet went through his arm and through his chest,” he said. “We can confirm he’s dead. We heard there were two others injured, but we don’t know exactly how many in all.”

When protesters regrouped in the afternoon and surrounded the police station, gunfire was heard, the witness added.

Migrant workers trapped by violence

In Hlaingthaya township, a factory zone west of Yangon that was the scene of more than 50 deaths Monday, demonstrators staged anti- military protests in defiance of martial law, only to be met with more violence by security personnel.

Page 28 of 67

“Police and soldiers chased the protesters even into small alleyways and fired indiscriminately,” said one witness. “The number of casualties is not known yet.”

He said protesters did not confront police and soldiers because their numbers were large and they had brought in bulldozers to clear away protester barricades.

Thousands of migrant workers from other parts of Myanmar had been trying to leave the township since early morning to escape the crackdown, a township resident said.

“The migrant workers are leaving for their hometowns because of insecurity here. There are no jobs around for them, and they have to take up the duties of security guards at night,” he said.

People cannot move around safely in the wards given indiscriminate shooting that has occurred for the last three days, he added.

Another unnamed man said that the wards are almost deserted.

“We all are furious. To say it frankly, we just want to hit them back,” he said, referring to security forces.

Indiscriminate gunfire kills teen

Video footage of soldiers and police brutally suppressing people at a peaceful nighttime sit- in Yangon’s Dawbon township on Monday have gone viral on social media, with one clip showing security personnel shooting a demonstrator and dragging him naked on the a street.

Protests were staged in other townships in Yangon region, also under martial law, including North Okkalapa, where scores of young people led a demonstration, and in North Dagon, where security forces cleared makeshift barricades set up by protesters and fired their rifles down side roads, damaging cars and houses.

“The more they press, the more we will rise up,” said one defiant township resident. “Everything the military council is doing is total injustice. The security of the people has been diminishing. Some people are now having ideas to fight back until death.”

One protester died during a crackdown in South Dagon, witnesses told RFA.

In Mandalay’s Thabeikkyin township, a 14-year-old girl and a man were killed when police and soldiers fired at protesters, residents said.

Local residents who were checking traffic entering their town from Mogok to the north of Mandalay, confronted policemen inside a car who shot their way out as they left the scene. About 200 soldiers who entered the area fired indiscriminately at residents, hitting the teenager who was in her house, residents said.

Several others were injured, some seriously, and about 20 people were taken away by security forces, they said.

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a watchdog group, said that as of Tuesday, 2,181 people had been arrested, charged, or sentenced in relation to the military coup, with 1,862 still being held or with outstanding warrants.

In the ancient town of Bagan, about 2,200 civil servants, including police, bankers, and General Administration Department staffers, comprising over 80 percent of state employees in the area, have joined the civil disobedience movement running in tandem with the protests, locals said.

Some of the workers have stood their ground despite threats by their superiors angry that the striking employees have nearly brought services to a stop.

“They have prepared themselves to carry out the worst human rights violations,” activist Nickey Diamond from the Southeast Asia-based Fortify Rights NGO, referring to the ruling military council.

“They have taken up positions in every township and have killed and injured many protesters. Their actions can be seen as crimes against humanity,” he told RFA.

RFA was unable to reach a military spokesman for comment.

India Must Break its ‘Silence’ on Myanmar Coup to Avoid Global Embarrassment

By Jayanta Kalita | 16 March 2021

India’s ambivalence towards condemning the military coup in Myanmar raises several questions, including the most fundamental one pertaining to democracy. The Southeast Asian nation is witnessing widespread protests and a nationwide civil disobedience campaign, with more than 190 people killed and over 2,100 arrested since the Feb. 1 coup.

The military regime is also continuing its crackdown on the media, arresting journalists and raiding newspaper and magazine offices. Even The Irrawaddy, one of the country’s most

Page 30 of 67

respected publications, has not been spared with the junta accusing it of “disregarding” the military while reporting the anti-coup protests.

Media workers are being targeted under Section 505(a) of Myanmar’s penal code, which criminalizes the circulation of information that could cause government employees or soldiers to mutiny.

At least 38 journalists had been arrested as of March 12, according to the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners, with 19 still being detained.

India’s position raises suspicions

A Reuters report on March 9 highlighting India’s purported role in changing a UN draft resolution triggered a massive backlash on social media. The news agency reported that the UN Security Council (UNSC) had failed to agree on a statement that would have condemned the military coup in Myanmar.

It said India, along with China, Russia and Vietnam “all suggested amendments late on Tuesday (March 9) to a British draft…including removal of the reference to a coup and the threat to consider further action”.

The Indian embassy in Myanmar rejected the report, calling it “mischievous and biased”, but the damage had already been done. Social media users took exception to India’s role with Phil Robertson, Deputy Asia Director of Human Rights Watch, describing the four countries cited in the Reuters report as “villains” who had stopped the UNSC from issuing a much more forceful statement.

India has been careful not to make any direct reference to the military coup or to condemn it in its statements since Feb. 1. Earlier this month, India’s permanent envoy to the UN said, “India has direct stakes in the maintenance of peace and stability in Myanmar, given the fact that we share long land and maritime borders…

“We are deeply concerned and saddened by the loss of lives in Yangon and other cities of Myanmar. We have urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint. We call on the Myanmar leadership to work together to resolve their differences in a peaceful and constructive manner.

Northeast India facing influx of refugees from Myanmar

Meanwhile, India’s federal government has asked the north-eastern states to stop the “influx” of Myanmar nationals, following reports of more than 100 people fleeing to the region. Four NE states — Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh – together share a 1,600-km land border with Myanmar.

Media reports suggest as many as 116 Myanmar nationals crossed the Tiau River and reached Farkawn Village in Mizoram through a stretch where border guards, the Assam Rifles, were not present. It is believed several of them were police and fire services

Page 31 of 67 personnel who had fled because the Tatmadaw (Myanmar military), were hunting them after they refused to obey orders.

In a communique to the chief secretaries of north-eastern states, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has said that “it has been reported that an illegal influx from Myanmar has started… instructions were issued to sensitize all law enforcement and intelligence agencies for taking prompt steps in identifying the illegal migrants and initiate the deportation processes expeditiously and, without delay”.

It also stressed that “State Governments and UT (Union Territory) Administrations have no powers to grant ‘refugee’ status to any foreigner and that India is not a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention of 1951 and its 1967 Protocol”.

India faced a similar surge of refugees from Myanmar in 1988 after a violent crackdown on pro-democracy supporters. Thousands of people fled to neighbouring countries fearing persecution by the then junta. An estimated 360,000 Myanmar nationals were living in Thailand, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh and India in 1991-92, according to a 1992 study carried out by the International Commission of Jurists, a Geneva-based human rights organisation.

A large number of the people who took shelter in India were from Chin state. They are largely concentrated in Mizoram with some living in New Delhi, India’s capital. The India office of the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees reported that some 3,300 Chin people were among the 21,000 registered refugees and asylum seekers from Myanmar.

How India changed its position

New Delhi seems to have made a complete U-turn from the position it took during the 1988 uprising. Then, India was the first country neighboring Myanmar to criticise the military regime. The Indian embassy in Yangon actively supported the pro-democracy student activists and many fled to India after the 1988 uprising was put down by the Tatmadaw.

Between 1988 and 1990 India openly supported the pro-democracy forces and called for “complete disengagement” with the ruling military junta in Myanmar, according to the UK- based Burma Campaign. India even conferred the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Award on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who had emerged as the leader of the pro-democracy movement.

Subsequently, India demanded that the junta recognize the 1990 parliamentary election results where the National League for Democracy party won 392 out of 492 contested seats. However, New Delhi changed its policy in 1993 and forged closer relations with the junta for fear of the growing Chinese influence in Myanmar.

Perhaps it’s time that India, as the largest democracy in the world, called a spade a spade. New Delhi may have its strategic interest in mind for not denouncing the Feb. 1 coup, but its prolonged silence on the state of affairs in Myanmar may be seen as giving overt support to a dictatorial regime. India’s reputation is at stake and the country runs the risk of the international community placing India in the same league as authoritarian regimes such as North Korea and China. Page 32 of 67

UN: Killings of Peaceful Protesters by Myanmar Junta Soaring By Lisa Schlein | March 16, 2021 People carry a wreath as they attend the funeral of Khant Nyar Hein, a medical student who was shot and killed during the security force crackdown on anti-coup protesters in Yangon, Myanmar, March 16, 2021.

GENEVA - Human rights officials are expressing alarm at the soaring death toll in Myanmar as the military junta’s security forces intensify their brutal crackdown on protesters.

The past week has been particularly deadly. The U.N. human rights office says 11 people were killed on Monday and 57 over the weekend by security forces that used live ammunition against peaceful protesters.

Since February 1, when Myanmar’s military toppled the democratically elected government of Aung Sun Suu Kyi, the U.N. agency confirms at least 149 people have been killed, though it says it believes the number of deaths to be much higher.

Anti-coup protesters surround an injured man in Hlaing Thar Yar township in Yangon, Myanmar, March 14, 2021.

U.N. human rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani says her agency continues to receive distressing reports of people being arbitrarily arrested, forcibly disappeared and brutally beaten and tortured while in detention. By last count, she says more than 2,084 people remain arbitrarily detained.

“At least 37 journalists have been arrested, of whom 19 remain in arbitrary detention," she said. "At least five deaths in custody have occurred in recent weeks, and at least two victims’ bodies have shown signs of severe physical abuse indicating that they were tortured.”

A day after Sunday’s deadly crackdown on protesters, Myanmar’s military authorities declared martial law in a number of townships in and around Yangon and Mandalay. Page 33 of 67

Anti-coup protesters take cover at a barricade as they clash with security forces on Bayint Naung Bridge in Mayangone, Yangon, Myanmar, March 16, 2021.

That means military law now will apply to civilians, subjecting offenders to military tribunals that give them no right of appeal.

Many countries and human rights activists have been calling for economic sanctions and an arms embargo on Myanmar’s military coup leaders.

Shamdasani dismisses Myanmar’s claims that under international law, countries have no right to interfere in its internal affairs. She says that is an argument often raised by countries where serious human rights situations are occurring.

Relatives of anti-coup protester victims wait outside the morgue for the return of their bodies at Thingangyun Hospital in Yangon, Myanmar, March 15, 2021.

“Where the state fails to protect the human rights or where the state is carrying out human rights violations against its own people, it is the duty of the international community to do something about it, to take measures to bring the violence to an end, to take measures to ensure accountability. You cannot argue non-interference when you are shooting your own people,” she said.

Human rights officials are calling on the military to stop killing and detaining protesters. U.N. rights chief Michele Bachelet is appealing to all those with influence to take measures to bring an end to the state violence against the Myanmar people.

UN Chief Calls Intl’ Community to Help End Military Repression in Myanmar

By The Irrawaddy | 16 March 2021

The Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), António Guterres, has urged the international community to work collectively and bilaterally to help bring an end to the repression of Myanmar’s anti-regime supporters by the junta, two days after the country witnessed its bloodiest day since the Feb.1 coup.

Page 34 of 67

With at least 191 civilians killed by the security forces as of Monday night, António Guterres also urged the military to allow a visit by the UN Special Envoy to Myanmar to help calm down the situation and set the stage for dialogue and a return to democracy.

The Secretary-General said that the killing of demonstrators, arbitrary arrests and the reported torture of prisoners violates fundamental human rights and stand in clear defiance of calls by the UN Security Council for restraint, dialogue and a return to Myanmar’s democratic path.

Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary-General, said that António Guterres is appalled at the increasing use of violence by the security forces in Myanmar.

On Monday, the military regime declared martial law in six Yangon townships where the security forces have launched deadly crackdowns on anti-coup protesters. Anyone who is arrested in the townships under martial law faces trial by military tribunal, with maximum sentences ranging from three years to the death penalty, according to an announcement by the regime.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter said on Monday that the Myanmar military’s use of violence against protesters was “immoral and indefensible.”

“The junta has responded to calls for the restoration of democracy in Burma with bullets,” Porter said.

Japan’s government has also condemned the unlawful killings of peaceful protesters by the military regime and called on it to restrain from violence. https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/un-chief-calls-intl-community-help-end-military- repression-myanmar.html ------

Myanmar Crisis Could Reset Toxic US-China Ties

By Kavi Chongkittavorn | 16 March 2021

The announcement that the Biden administration’s top diplomatic and security team would meet their Chinese counterparts in Anchorage, Alaska later this week has led to unusually high levels of optimism despite the existing vitriolic nature of their relationship. The world’s two most powerful nations will now have the opportunity to exchange views and perhaps reset that relationship, which was moored to the ground under former President Donald Trump.

For the world, the Anchorage meeting will have significant ramifications if the US and China are able to forge additional common positions on transnational issues. At this critical moment, however, for the sake of the region, the two could collaborate to bring much- needed peace and stability to Myanmar, one of the world’s most diverse countries, in a move that would be considered “extreme cooperation”. President Joe Biden used the term

Page 35 of 67

“extreme competition” to characterize US ties with China when he took the presidency in January. The pendulum could now swing the other way.

Indeed, a coalition of willingness between the two has become a possibility due to Biden’s new attitude and desire to see firm and well-defined parameters in the US relationship with China. This approach allows both powers to sit down and work out their core interests. In Anchorage, US Secretary of State Antony Blinkin and National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan will meet with China’s two most powerful figures in foreign policy, Yang Jiachi, a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo, and Wang Yi, state councillor and foreign minister. What they agree or disagree on could see a recalibration of their relations in a way that theworld has never seen before.

Before Trump’s reign, the US and China were already working together on the Paris Accord on Climate Change, the Iran nuclear deal, North Korea’s denuclearization and the multilateral trade arrangement, to name but a few. Under Biden, new areas of cooperation would be possible if both sides can foster mutual trust and respect.

As far as the situation in Myanmar is concerned, support from the US and China is crucial to designing a durable solution to the current quagmire. Statements from the UN Security Council and the Quad (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) over the last week strongly support ASEAN unity and centrality. It remains to be seen how ASEAN will be able to work with the conflicting parties inside Myanmar.

Since the February 1 coup, bloody clashes between protesters and the security forces in major cities in Myanmar have continued unabated, causing major concern about further loss of life and property. Worse, more killings could be ignited, as some armed ethnic groups have sided with the civil disobedience movement. They said they are ready to defend democracy under the National League for Democracy’s leadership.

From the junta’s point of view, the whole country must be placed under its control ahead of the scheduled Army Day on March 27, before any meaningful negotiation can take place. The junta therefore continues to use force to quell all possible shows of defiance.

After their informal meeting early in March, ASEAN leaders called on all sides to exercise the utmost restraint as well as flexibility, to de-escalate the situation and to release detainees, while also urging all parties concerned to seek a peaceful solution through dialogue via any constructive channels.

As such, all international and regional players have catalytic roles to play. The current COVID-19 pandemic requires all sides to work together to ensure that the virus does not spread further. The countries which share a common border with Myanmar are concerned that any major influx of Myanmar refugees due to the internal turmoil would further complicate the mitigation measures they have installed to prevent transmission of the coronavirus.

In particular, Thailand is now caught in a dilemma, as with more than 5 million workers from Myanmar, any disruption within the migrant community would have far-reaching

Page 36 of 67

repercussions on the host’s domestic political and economic situation. That helps explain why Thailand has adopted an extremely cautious diplomatic approach to the junta. Bangkok is also mindful of its own past political development, which required doable roadmaps and international support to end the current impasse.

So far, the West has exercised restraint in imposing sanctions against Myanmar, knowing all too well that broad sanctions against the junta would end up punishing the common folk. For the time being, the US and EU have targeted senior military officials who were involved in the power seizure. South Korea has stopped arms sales to the junta, while Australia has suspended defense cooperation. New Zealand was the first Western nation to end all high- level contact with the junta and banned their leaders from visiting the country.

The Anchorage meeting provides an excellent opportunity for the US and China to recalibrate their new relations. Both can compete and cooperate in the areas they see fit and which serve their mutual interests. The situation in Myanmar could be a game-changer in Alaska.

Quad leaders issue statement on Myanmar crisis By Mizzima | 16 March 2021

Leaders of the United States, India, Japan and Australia held a virtual summit last week in which they called for a restoration of democracy in Myanmar but fell short of condemning the coup or calling for a return of the elected National League for Democracy-led government.

A senior White House official said the goal of the Quad is to be a “new feature of regular diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific.” However, observers agree that it is a counter to China’s increasing foreign policy assertiveness and threat to the regional maritime status quo.

In a joint statement, Quad leaders broadly reaffirmed their “commitment to quadrilateral cooperation and the promotion of “a free, open rules-based order, rooted in international law to advance security and prosperity and counter threats to both in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.”

They pledged to respond to the economic and health impacts of COVID-19, combat climate change, and address shared challenges, including in cyberspace, critical technologies, counterterrorism, quality infrastructure investment, and humanitarian-assistance and disaster-relief as well as maritime domains.

Addressing concerns over China directly, the leaders also committed to “facilitate collaboration, including in maritime security, to meet challenges to the rules-based Page 37 of 67

maritime order in the East and South China Seas”, particularly as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

While the statement emphasized the urgent need to restore democracy and prioritise strengthening democratic resilience in Myanmar it fell short of condemning the coup or calling for a return of the elected NLD government. Abhijnan Rej, Security & Defense Editor at The Diplomat, noted that though the joint statement was unexpectedly blunt on maritime security, “on Myanmar, on the account of India (and perhaps also Japan), the language was unsurprisingly toned-down.”

What the Quad agreed to do:

The Quad approved three priority areas of collaboration: health, climate change and critical and emerging technology and three working groups with clear mandates will form to implement these agendas. Respond to the economic and health impacts of COVID-19, the Quad Vaccine Group is the most developed initiative.

In a move that will immediately raise the Quad’s profile and impact, it was announced that Japan and the United States will finance manufacturing in India of the Novavax and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, with Australia handling the distribution among Southeast Asian and Pacific nations.

Who started the Quad

The Quad has its inception the four countries’ closely and successfully coordinated relief efforts in response to the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami and raised hopes that this grouping could be the start of a new, permanent and powerful regional grouping of like-minded democracies. According to Australian political commentator David Spears, China made it clear they perceived the grouping as an attempt to contain its ambitions. Consequently, Quad meetings never reached leadership level and petered out.

A quad meeting was revived on the sidelines of the 2017 ASEAN summit in Manila and before being elevated to the ministerial level with foreign ministers meeting on the margins of the September 2019 United Nations General Assembly session in New York. Quad foreign ministers have since met twice: in-person in Tokyo in October last year and virtually last month. Last November, India invited Australia to join the India-Japan-U.S. Malabar naval exercises – the first military exercise involving all four Quad members.

Global alarm grows as 20 more protesters killed in Myanmar crackdown Published 16 March 2021 | The Straits Times/ANN

YANGON (AFP) - The international community pleaded for restraint on Monday (March 15) after more than a dozen anti-coup protesters were killed in Myanmar, as demonstrators

Page 38 of 67

returned to the streets to demand restored democracy despite an increasingly bloody crackdown by the military.

At least 20 people were killed in Myanmar on Monday (March 15) after another day of unrest and protests against the military that seized power six weeks ago, said the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a local monitoring group that has been tracking arrests and fatalities.

The United Nations, the United States, China and Britain all condemned the violence, which the UN said has claimed the lives of at least 138 "peaceful protesters" - including women and children - since the generals ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Feb 1.

So far Myanmar's generals have shown no signs of heeding calls for restraint.

The deadliest day yet came on Sunday, when more than three dozen demonstrators were killed as security forces cracked down on pro-democracy rallies.

But the killings did not stop demonstrators, who came out again on Monday only to once again face what witnesses said was lethal force by the military.

Those killed on Monday were shot dead in several locations in the country's central regions.

"Two men were killed because of gunshots and six others were injured," a witness in Magway region's Aunglan town told AFP, adding that one of the dead was shot in the chest.

"He was right besides me. Another one got shot in his head."

"The military has responded to call for the restoration of democracy in Burma with bullets," State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters Monday, using another name for Myanmar and labelling the Sunday attacks "another new low".

"The United States continues to call on all countries to take concrete actions to oppose the coup, and escalating violence," she added.

Myanmar security forces have used tear gas, rubber bullets and live rounds against protesters in near-daily crackdowns across the country.

“Casualties are drastically increasing,” AAPP said in a Tuesday statement, adding that more than 180 people had been killed since the Feb 1 coup.

While the bulk of Monday’s deaths were anti-coup demonstrators, some were civilians who were “not even participating in the protests”, it said.

Most were killed in central Myanmar, while at least three died in commercial hub Yangon.

The Yangon deaths included two women in their homes who were shot when security forces opened fire on the streets, according to AAPP.

AFP has independently verified 11 fatalities.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also called for the international community "including regional actors, to come together in solidarity with the people of Myanmar and their democratic aspirations," his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Monday.

UN envoy for Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener also condemned Sunday's bloodshed, while the country's former colonial ruler Britain said it was "appalled" by the use of force "against innocent people".

'Nasty'

Myanmar has been in uproar since the putsch, with daily protests demanding a restoration of democracy despite the military's increasingly forceful attempts to quell dissent.

The bulk of the deaths on Sunday came from a clash in a garment-producing district in the capital Yangon where multiple Chinese-owned factories were razed. Many protesters believe Beijing is supportive of the coup.

Six Yangon townships were under martial law by morning - anyone arrested there faces trial by military tribunal rather than civilian courts, with sentences ranging from three years' hard labour to execution.

Those clashes drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing, which on Monday urged Myanmar to "resolutely avoid a recurrence of such incidents".

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian described the violence as "nasty".

China "is very concerned about the impact on the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel," he told reporters in Beijing, adding the Myanmar security forces had reinforced the area around the factories.

Taiwan, meanwhile, advised its companies in Myanmar to fly the island's flag to avoid being targeted.

Suu Kyi court appearance cancelled

Six fatalities were also reported Monday in the city of Myingyan.

Among those dead were "three people, including a woman... with gunshots," said a Myingyan resident.

Both witnesses who spoke to AFP declined to be named for fear of repercussions.

There was a further death in the city of Monywa, state media said, while two men in their 20s were killed on the spot in Mandalay, according to a local doctor and an AFP reporter.

And state-run television confirmed on Monday that a police officer was shot dead in the city of Bago, northeast of Yangon, during a protest.

News of the violence came out in the afternoon due to a block on mobile data networks across Myanmar - which also scuppered a scheduled video court appearance by Suu Kyi.

The court hearing for the Nobel laureate - who spent more than 15 years under house arrest during previous military rule - was scheduled for 10am (0330 GMT) in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw, but it was postponed until March 24, her lawyer Khin Maung Zaw told AFP.

"There's no court hearing because there's no internet and the hearing is conducted by video conference... We cannot do video," he said.

Myanmar authorities have throttled the internet every night for several weeks, normally restoring services in the morning, but monitoring service Netblocks said mobile data networks were kept offline Monday.

Suu Kyi faces at least four charges.

Military authorities have also accused her of accepting illegal payments - allegations her lawyer says are "groundless".

Kachin Villagers Flee Fighting Between Myanmar’s Military and KIA

By The Irrawaddy | 16 March 2021

Yangon — Over 200 villagers in in Kachin State were forced from their homes due to clashes between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and Myanmar’s military.

“I heard gunshots when I phoned the township yesterday,” said Ja Seng Hkawng, the deposed parliamentarian for Injangyang. Over 200 people from some 50 households in two villages in Injangyang have fled their homes, she said.

Gunshots were first heard on Monday evening in Injangyang, according to residents. The KIA Brigade 1 and the military’s Northern Command are active in the area.

The Malikha River, a tributary for the Ayeyarwady, separates Injangyang and , the Kachin capital.

“Around 109 villagers have fled to the church. They will return to the Pa La Na displacement camp [in Myitkyina]. But they are still stranded at a [military] checkpoint in Tang Hpare as the authorities have not yet given approval for them to pass through,” said Stephen Sut Awng, a priest at a Catholic church in Tang Hpare village in .

KIA information officer Colonel Naw Bu said: “We have not yet received information from the ground. We will not be able to confirm the reports until this evening.”

There have been fewer major clashes between the KIA and Myanmar’s military since the two sides started negotiating a ceasefire in December 2018. Tensions have eased in Kachin, despite sporadic clashes between the two sides in northern Shan State.

The KIA asked the Northern Command not to harm peaceful Kachin protesters against the military regime.

The Northern Command, in response, warned the KIA not to get involved in protests, saying it would attack the armed group if it intervenes. It also threatened to use live ammunition on protesters if they go too far.

Two male protesters were shot dead when security forces used live rounds on anti-regime protesters in Myitkyina on March 8.

The KIA raided a military outpost near the village of Sel Zin in Kachin State’s -mining hub, Township, overnight on March 11, which boosted military tensions across Hpakant, and Injangyang.

Fighting Between Burma Army and KIO/A Breaks Out Across Kachin State

By Network Media Group | Tuesday, March 16, 2021

Burma Army and its proxy forces clashed with Kachin Independence Organization/Army (KIO/A) across Burma’s Kachin State on Monday, March 15.

In the north, KIO/A Battalion 4 (Brigade 1) fought with Burma Army IB 142 on the eastern side of Irrawaddy River, near the site of the suspended Myitsone Dam.

Residents of the rich , located north of Myitkyina, were awakened to the sounds of fighting between the armed groups. “We heard heavy weapons being fired,” said a man, explaining that violence broke out from 2 am to 5 am outside of his Shaduzup village. Villagers are disturbed by the hostilities happening close to their homes, but they are still unsure whether to flee the area, he said.

KIA Battalion 44 (Brigade 9) also fought with Burma Army LIB-381 near Nam Sheng village, Karmaing Township, located in southern Kachin State.

Residents told NMG, that KIO/A attacked the San Pya People’s Militia Force camp near Tanai – Lido road, located in western Kachin state, on Monday morning.

NMG called Col Naw Bu from KIO/A’s information department for comment on fighting but he was not available.

Fighting has been ongoing between the armed groups in Kachin and northern Shan states since March 11.

Burma Army attacked the headquarters of KIO/A Battalion (Brigade 6) with helicopters on March 11 after the ethnic armed organization attacked its camp near Selzin village, located in .

Residents of Myitkyina told NMG that Burma Army attack helicopters did a flyover the state’s capital city on Monday morning.

Arakan Army sides with the coup regime while conflict rages across the nation

Tuesday, March 16, 2021 | by - ထ�န��ခ��င� (န�ရဥ�ရ�)

The military game-plan for consolidating the coup was based on wooing ethnic parties and EAOs to accept positions inside the SAC (State Administration Council) framework. While a few individuals from ethnic backgrounds accepted offers of SAC posts, most ethnic political parties and EAOs firmly rejected the SAC viewing it as an “illegal administration” with no legitimacy.

However military overtures received a much warmer reception in Rakhine (Arakan) State where local leaders have looked on SAC offers as an opportunity to prolong a temporary ceasefire, and bring benefits to their war-ravaged state.

As of March 16th, 183 protests nationwide have been killed, and anti-coup rallies have taken place in all over the country and in all the ethnic states. But in Arakan civil society and CDM rallies have been more modest and lacked a wide base of support. The smaller ALP is the only party that has rejected cooperation with army rule.

The leadership role of ANP and their armed wing AA, have been indifferent to nationwide solidarity struggles that has engulfed the rest of the nation. The Arakan National Party (ANP) said it would cooperate with Myanmar’s coup leaders if they are allowed to take the helm of Arakan State’s affairs, as one of the country’s most formidable ethnic political parties seeks to further clarify its relationship with the military regime. Their claim is “ ANP is cooperating with the military out of necessity, for the national interests of Arakan State.”

A handful of ANP members have subsequently resigned from the party, citing the decision to collude with the SAC and civil society has condemned.

The main concern of U Khaing Thu Kha, Spokesperson of the Arakan Army (AA) is the State Administration Council formed by the army declared that the AA was removed from the list of terrorist groups on March 11st.

The Narinjara News Agency interviewed U Khaing Thu Kha, Spokesperson of the Arakan Army (AA).

Q: What do you want to say about the removal of the AA from the list of terrorist groups?

A: As the army’s statement is constructive, we welcome it. This statement cannot solve the problems in the whole country in such a complex situation. But if it leads to a solution of the problems in Arakan State, we welcome it. Page 44 of 67

Q: May I know the current discussions on peace with the Tatmadaw?

A: The designation of the AA as a “terrorist group” served as a major obstacle to dialogue. The removal of the AA from the list of terrorist groups may pave the way for future discussions. There may be more constructive situations in the future.

Q: May I know the discussion with the Tatmadaw about the return of IDPs?

A: The people in Arakan State have suffered a lot during the last decade due to religious riots, the economy, natural disasters, civil war and curfew orders. It is important to restore a stable condition during this ceasefire period. We hope the arrests of people under the provision of the Counter-Terrorism Law during over two-year civil war can now be resolved.

Q: Col Min Than, a member of the Arakan State Administration Council told some media about the negotiation between the Tatmadaw and the AA on mine clearance in the forests. May I know your comment on it?

A: I asked the headquarters about it. As far as I know, the army is carrying out mine clearance work along a motorized road. We, the AA have made clearances in several places. I will answer only after consulting headquarters.

Q: Do you have any message to Arakan people about the latest developments?

A: It is time to make united efforts to restore a stable situation for the people in Arakan State during the ceasefire period.
