HURFOM: On October 22^nd, 2025, a junta regiment consisting of approximately 20 troops conducted a ‘stop and check’ operation targeting pedestrians at the entrance of Duu Yar village, Ye Township, Mon State. Soldiers arrested forty local men including plantation workers and seized ten motorbikes.

Three of those arrested were social workers and were released in the evening of October 22^nd, 2025. The remaining are still in detention as of today (October 23^rd).

“They came by the military truck and arrested every man they encountered. They also seized motorbikes. The three social workers were released on the same night. The remaining haven’t been released yet,” said a local source.

They are being detained at the Ye Town Police Station, and so far, there has not been a demand for their release.

“The arrested villagers have been detained at the Ye police station. We haven’t heard any updates about them. Junta soldiers haven’t demanded money, we’ve worried if they beat the detainees or do something to them,” said a local villager.

On September 19^th, 2025, a junta’s regiment battled with the local revolutionary forces in Ye Township and arrested six plantation workers after that confrontation. Each worker had to pay three million MMK in order to be released.
