Summary on 5 June

  • The junta army led by Min Aung Hlaing has committed genocide against the Rohingya and other ethnic people. They have covered up such news with lies. The same is true for the news about the anti-junta revolution. The military junta has killed and arrested the journalists who wrote such news. They have unlawfully oppressed the media outlets and the media people. Spreading the false information themselves, they have claimed that they have been bullied by the media. In other words, it is nothing else, but just a lie.
