Unofficial and subversive media have been creating and spreading rumours and fabricated news all round to create instability and unrest across the country; sowing discord between the Tatmadaw and the people, and using various ways to create a misleading impression of the Tatmadaw in the international arena. Under this context;
- “Khit Thit”, an unofficial media, alleged that security forces shelled and launched drone attack on a convoy with displaced persons fleeing from the clash in Hsihseng, killing seven people. It is just fabrication. In reality, neither bombardment nor drone attacks were launched in Hsihseng but subversive media are wilfully spreading fake news through social media platforms to make the people feel hatred and misunderstanding for the Tatmadaw.
With the purpose to cause public panic, subversive media abetting terrorists and those who disturb community peace and tranquility are spreading one-sided misinformation that security personnel forcibly arrested people at night as porter via online media platforms, covering up for terrorist acts. Again, those media are creating fabrication and making the people feel hatred for the Tatmadaw, it is reported.
