Unofficial and Subversive Media Outlets Spreading Rumours and Fabrication on Social Media Platforms

  • “Than Lwin Time”, an unofficial media outlet, spread false information on social media platforms that the Tatmadaw shelled on some religious buildings and residential houses in Bilin and Thein Zayat that injured some civilians. It is just an allegation. In reality, terrorists launched shell attacks on security forces conducting security operation that exploded in the villages where civilians live.

  • “Khit Thit”, an unofficial media outlet, made an allegation on social media platforms that Tatmadaw personnel drove out local residents within over 10 villages of Oak Pho in Bago Range, threatening that they will be gunned down if they do not leave the villages. It is just false information. In reality, the Tatmadaw has not issued Section 144 order in those villages and did not drive out any local villagers.

  • “Khit Thit”, an unofficial media outlet, alleged that three civilians were killed due to the shell attack of the Tatmadaw on Tattugon Village of Bilin Township. It is just a vague rumour. In reality, there was no armed clash in the said-township.

  • “Than Lwin Time”, an unofficial media outlet, spread false information on social media platforms that Tatmdaw personnel detained some local residents after it clashed with terrorists at a scene near Mgmae Village of Dawei. It is just disinformation. In reality, the Tatmdaw personnel did not arrest any local residents despite of the clash with terrorists. 

  • “DVB TV News and Khit Thit”, two unofficial media outlets, spread rumours on social media platforms that two civilians including a six-year-old child were killed due to the shell attack of the Tatmadaw on Painpyit Village of Mogoke Township. It is just an allegation. In reality, the Tatmadaw did not shell the said-village.

  • “Myanmar Pressphoto Agency”, an unofficial media outlet, made an allegation on social media platforms that the Myoma Market of Moe Mate was gutted by fire due to the air strike of the Tatmadaw. It is just a rumour. In reality, the said-market was burned because terrorists fired small arms and shelled Moe Mate that exploded in the market and burned it.

PDF terrorists taking position in houses snipe at security personnel; launch bomb attacks on the latter; use locals as human shield; and make arson attacks on residential houses on their way of retreat. Unofficial and subversive media outlets are wilfully spreading such disinformation and fake news on social media platforms in order to cover up terrorists’ acts and create a misleading impression among local people and security personnel, it is reported.
