Summary on 8th December

• State Counsellor and President had been sentenced to 4 years in prison by the military junta, led by Min Aung Hlaing, on Monday morning. Their jail sentence was halved at night. It seemed as if the junta had shown their mercy. They just wanted to show that they could do whatever they want within their power. It highlighted their illegal seizure of sovereign power by force.
• The public never trust announcements and explanations by the military junta, which have always been full of lies. The junta minister of information instructed the junta media staff to distribute false propaganda news, not only locally but also internationally, with the use of state-owned property.
• After Kyimyindine incident, the revolution regained great momentum. In Mandalay, there were powerful protests and revolution activities again. The same was true for Yangon, a victim of Sunday’s violent crackdown.
• In Sagaing Region where the military junta could not control, the junta armed forces committed a war crime by burning civilians alive to death. As for the NUG with the public’s support, they have been getting better at international affairs. With a special prize, they would sell Spring Lottery in the country via the financial and banking system of KIO. It would be a hard blow for the military junta, who might carry out activities to delay financial and banking systems.
