Spreading disinformation: Illegal subversive media spreading distorted news

Illegal subversive media Mizzima is spreading distorted news on social media, alleging that a young man who had been forcibly enlisted for military service fled at KwinKauk village of Ingapu Township, Ayeyarwaddy Region and the village administrator is asking the young man’s grandmother for 7 million Kyats to hire a substitution to replace him.

According to a local resident, it was found out that the news is totally false, fabricated and propagated with the aim of committing public incitement of hatred and manipulating the public with false Information.

From the day the People’s Military Service Law came into force, the illegal subversive medias have been trying to threaten the public by disseminating faje news and making false accusations with false information.

And, terrorists are intentionally committing subversive activities such as threatening and coercing committees on Summoning People's Military Servants with the aim to disturb the national defense duties.
