NSS – Nov 22

Recently uprising propaganda issue was that the Tatmadaw is forcibly recruiting persons from Yangon to carry burdens in conflict areas happening across the country. The propaganda frightened the Yangon people but Yangon Region authorities denied no forced porters recruiting is made. 

Spokesperson of the Yangon Region Government Chief Justice Htay Aung explained NP News on 21 November with regard to the forced porters recruiting in Yangon. 

As a matter of fact, rumours spread through social media that young men in Yangon are being forcibly recruited and basic education schools are closed. But all are identified as rumours.
