The military council is now implementing a nationwide surveillance system using the National Database to identify and arrest military deserters, police deserters, Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) participants, and political activists, according to military sources in Naypyidaw. This system is being used to collect personal information of civilians and track down individuals involved in political activities.
In Nga Tharauk sub-township of Nyaung-U Township, Mandalay Region, revolutionary forces successfully attacked and decimated an entire military council column. Following this incident, when another military council force entered Nyaung-U Township, joint revolutionary forces conducted an interceptive attack, resulting in the death of 5 military council soldiers, as confirmed by a representative from the Bagan Byoe Choe group.
Despite repeatedly claiming to be the protector of Buddhism, the military council conducted an aerial bombing attack on a monastery in Ma Kyee Pin Tae village, Thaung Tha Township, Mandalay Region, using helicopter gunships. The attack resulted in severe damage to monastery buildings and structures. This incident serves as a clear example of the military council’s disrespect and brutality towards religious institutions, contradicting their own claims of protecting Buddhism.
