HURFOM: On January 3rd, 2024, the joint forces of the military junta sealed and seized a house of a female democratic activist living in Bin Hline Ward, Thaton City, Mon State.
The junta has been trying to arrest 40-year-old Ma Chaw Su who wrote a comment on the social media accounts of two members of the People’s Defense Forces.
“The military informers took a screenshot of the comment made by Ma Chaw Su and urged (the authority) to arrest her. She ran away as soon as she knew about that. They couldn’t arrest her so they seized her house,” said a Thaton resident.
Ma Chaw Su fled with her two daughters and the junta has sealed and seized her houses and beauty salon. She was jailed for participating in “anti-dictatorship protests” and released in December, 2021.
On December 16th, 2023, the junta also arrested Daw Su Su Htwe, the Chair of a social welfare organization, from Thu Dhamma Wati Ward, Thaton City for writing a comment on the social media post of a member of the People’s Defense Force.
