“They can control Mawlamyine, they are oppressing people more and more. They’ve arrested the young men in the streets and extorted money from them. There is no rule of law. At the moment, no one goes outside at night in Mawlamyine,” said a resident.

The four victims have been charged under the Anti-Terrorist Act sections 50(j) and 52(a) and the highest punishment can be lifetime or 20-year’s imprisonment.
