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:
- “Khit Thit”, an unofficial media source, circulated rumors on social media platforms stating that the Tatmadaw torched the villages shared border with Myitche and Kamma of Seikphyu Township, forcing local people to flee. It was just a rumour. In reality, security personnel are taking only necessary security measures in the region to prevent infiltration of terrorists into the township and deter the terrorist attacks. However, the security personnel did not set fire to the said-villages..
- “Ayeyarwaddy Times”, an unofficial media source, spread false information on social media platforms accusing that security force launched a drone attack against Mobye Township, Shan State, destroying more than 50 residential houses. It was just misinformation. In reality, terrorists have waged war in the region where locals reside and launched terrorist attacks against the residents, claiming the lives of people and wrecking property.
- “Khit Thit”, an unofficial media source, circulated rumors on social media platforms alleging that security personnel launched airstrikes against Myaingtha and Dauntboe villages in natogyi Township for two consecutive days, killing a civilian. It was just an allegation. In reality, security personnel did not launch any aerial attacks against the villages whereas terrorists launched shell attacks and drone attacks against the said-villages which do not support them.
- “DVB TV News”, an unofficial media source, circulated rumors on social media platforms stating that the Tatmadaw launched an aerial attack against Indaing village of Budalin Township, injuring two civilians including a child. It was just a rumour. In reality, security personnel are taking only necessary security measures in the region only after they have scouted and identified whether terrorists infiltrated into the towns and villages or not, and whether unarmed civilians reside the region or not even if security personnel received the tip-off by responsible citizens about the hides-out of the terrorists.
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 via social media platforms to feel frightened and hatred for security personnel and law enforcement organizations, reports say.
