Unofficial and Subversive Media Circulate Rumours and Fabrication on Social Media Platforms

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 over the Tatmadaw in the international arena. Under this context;    

• “RFA Burmese”, an unofficial media source, circulated rumors on social media platforms stating that security force shelled Kokko Khwa village tract of Yaynan Chaung Township, killing and injuring local residents. It is just fabrication. In reality, security personnel are just carrying out community security tasks. No shell attacks were reported.

Since the enforcement of People’s Military Service Law, subversive media and those who do not wish to see peaceful situation are poisoning the entire populace with groundless information on social media platforms to feel frightened and hatred for security personnel and law enforcement organizations, reports say.
