Combating False Narratives: Upholding rule of law in Yangon

Fake news circulating on social media alleges that many youths in Yangon are attempting to evade military service as administrative bodies conduct door-to-door collections. These illegal and destructive media outlets are intentionally disseminating false information to incite public panic, compelling youths to jeopardize their futures.

The government is providing timely information regarding the People’s Military Service Law through hotlines and pamphlet distribution. Concerned officials are implementing measures to uphold the rule of law in Yangon, and these fabricated news stories are spreading based on these actions, encouraging youths to make misguided decisions about their futures.
