HURFOM: On December 2^nd, 2024, 40-year-old U Win Nine from Aung Mitta Ward, Ye Town, Mon State was arrested and charged after having an argument with a captain in the military.

U Win Nine was carrying boxes of lobsters on his truck along the Ye – Yangon Highway Road when he was stopped by the junta’s security force at the “Phaung Sein” gate at the entrance of Thanbyuzayat Town.

“He explained that boxes of lobsters were already sealed and opening the boxes would cause a loss of gas in the boxes. But the Captain forced him to open the boxes. Then, they argued with each other. The captain checked his mobile phone and claimed he posted something related to “politics” in his social media account. Then, he arrested him,” said a source close to his family.

U Win Nine is detained at the Thanbyuzayat Town Police Station and has been charged under the Criminal Act section #505(A) – punishment for defaming the State.

The Mirror Newspaper which is controlled by the junta stated on December 5^th, that U Win Nine uploaded a post on his social media account in order to destroy peace and stability of the State.

However, local villagers claim that U Win Nine is just a truck driver and has no connection with “politics”.
