The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) remains deeply concerned about the junta’s upcoming sham election, which has led to rising levels of extortion and violent intimidation against civilians across all targeted areas of Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi Region. This election is neither recognized by the people nor aligned with international standards. It is also neither free or fair and is costing innocent people their freedom, threatening the growing sense of widespread insecurity.
In Dawei, the military junta is pressing ahead with its planned election by forcing local people to participate in “practical test votes” using newly introduced electronic voting machines. On the afternoon of September 24, residents from Oh Lote, Pain Nel Taw, San Chi, and nearby wards were ordered to gather at San Chi Monastery. There, they were compelled to cast mock ballots as the junta’s election commission demonstrated how to operate the machines.
