More than 20,000 war refugees increased in Northern Shan State

On November 2, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA - Myanmar) announced that more than 23,000 people had been displaced due to the intensification of fighting in northern Shan State, bringing the total to more than 37,400. They said that fighting is ongoing in at least nine of the 22 townships in northern Shan State, the number of refugees is increasing, and humanitarian assistance is needed.

The statement said that the routes connecting northern Shan State with China are currently blocked by checkpoints of the Myanmar military and ethnic armed groups, and a key bridge has also been destroyed. Additionally, UNOCHA said that the situation of internet and telephone communication lines is severe in most parts of northern Shan State, eastern Bago, and Karen State.

Nearly forty writers criticizing the military council were arrested within a month.

In October, the Military Council arrested 37 people who criticized the Military Council on social media, including U Ye Htut, who served as Minister of Information under former President U Thein Sein's government.

According to the press release of the Military Council, 15 of those arrested were from Mandalay, seven from Yangon, seven from Mon State, two from Ayeyarwaddy Region, Kachin State, and Shan State, and one from Bago Region and Thanintharyi Region. It was first announced on January 25, 2022, in the Military Council newspapers that action would be taken with the communication section if you spread propaganda and threaten through social networks, it is a terrorist act. After that, those who criticized the military council were arrested.

RFA tried to contact family members of those arrested in October for writing criticism of the military council, but they refused to answer due to security reasons. A resident of Mandalay told RFA that freedom was completely lost under the military regime. "It is true that we are missing freedom in the current military regime. Even when we use social media, even when we express our wishes online, we do not have any freedom at all. Everything is difficult." He said the military council is keeping an eye on social media.

The military council has threatened to take action under Section 52 (A) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, Section 124 (a) of the Penal Code, Section 505(a), Section 33(a) of the Electronic Communications Law and confiscate the relevant equipment further sharing of propaganda on social networks If you encourage and help.

A lawyer in Yangon, who did not want to be named for security reasons, criticized the military council's arrest and prosecution of people as illegal. "There is already a provision that citizens can present their opinions, recommendations, discussions, and presentations in various ways without harming another individual or organization. Contrary to that provision, blocking the Nai-Lut-Lone (Citizens' Personal Freedom and Personal Security) Law is, in fact, legally speaking, I see it as illegal and inconsistent."

RFA called General Zaw Min Tun, who was authorized to speak to the military council, but he did not pick up the phone. In May 2022, Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun told RFA that they would take action against the anti-terrorism law if they encouraged NUG and CRPH.

U Thein Tun Oo, executive director of the ThayNinGa Institute for Strategic Studies, which is a group of former military officers, said that if a citizen wanted rights and did not take responsibility, he would be arrested. "That is, there are always rights and responsibilities when you become a citizen. Especially when the voice of democracy shouts a lot, they say human rights, etc. But if you want rights, you can't forget that responsibility comes with it. If you want that right, you have to fulfill the responsibility that you have to fulfill. So, when you shout for rights, but you can't fully fulfill your responsibilities, it becomes a problem."

U Zaw Win, a human rights expert at Fortify Rights, a human rights group based in Southeast Asia, said the military council is violating people's basic rights and arresting anyone who opposes it. "If you look at their history, the military doesn't release anyone who opposes them. If you look at their background, the military doesn't release anyone. That's why, no matter what, if you oppose them, they will take action no matter what. They want to show that with this."

On October 8, Data for Myanmar announced that as of the end of September 2023, 1,316 people had been arrested after the military council announced that it would arrest and punish those who wrote criticism on social networks.

According to the Freedom on the Net 2023 report released on October 4 by the US-based Freedom House, Myanmar is the second worst country in the world in terms of internet freedom.

About five thousand Myanmar war refugees in China are facing difficulties

According to the fleeing people and their family members, about 5,000 Burmese war refugees fleeing from Chinswehaw town in Koekant region to the Maintein border in China due to the ongoing fighting in northern Shan State were moved by the Chinese authorities last night on November 2 from a temporary relief camp to an old covid inspection center near Maintein.

He said, “Currently, we are living in a room. I heard that it was originally a building where they had Covid centers. They said that the whole camp was moved by cars at night. There is a possibility of another big battle in Chinshwehaw City, so we are moving again."

When we contacted two Myanmar war victims who were in a temporary relief camp on the Chinese side on the night of November 2, they said that they had been on the Chinese side since the fighting began on October 27.

According to people at the relief camp, among the five thousand people fleeing to the Chinese side, there are around seven hundred children, and they are having trouble getting drinking water and food. "Because there is not enough water, here they are drinking the boiled water given to them for bathing, and some of them are suffering from diarrhea. Many people get drunk and forget about their health. Drinking water is limited. They don't give to donors who come from outside. It is guarded by the Chinese police and army.”

Ko Sai said that among those war refugees, in addition to the residents of Chinshwehaw, residents of North Shan and migrant workers from Yangon, Mandalay, Kachin State, Sagaing Region, and Rakhine state are also included. He said that the Chinese authorities have provided blue tents for war refugees to live in, and five to ten people live together in one tent.

A refugee from the war on the Chinese side said that they are given two meals a day for food, but the rice dishes are not suitable for eating. "The food is uncomfortable to eat. As for eggs and tomatoes, they have been fed for two days. On the first day, my sister and I had these food. We can't eat the egg and tomato served today. We can only eat white rice. Sometimes we can't eat white rice. The sweat is flying and it stinks. Many people can't eat pork on the days they feed it. We can't even cook it ourself. I was going to order some bread from outside so the police wouldn't know. In the case of theft, the police saw the bread card and the water card and confiscated everything. They don't let us eat it, I just bought it with my own money." Ma Htoo Htoo said that women's items and personal items are also difficult because they don't get help.

Ko Sai, who lives in the refugee camp, said that on the afternoon of November 2, the refugees collectively asked the Chinese authorities to get food and water, but the Chinese police and army forced them to disperse.

The China-Myanmar border used to have Myanmar phone lines, but since the fighting, phone lines and internet lines have been cut.

He said that most of the refugees are unable to contact their families because the Chinese police keep the phones of Myanmar nationals inside China. Some said they had to use nearby Chinese phones to contact family members.

The refugees want to be allowed to move from the Chinese refugee camp to the refugee camp in Namtit, which is controlled by the UWSA "Wa" force on the Myanmar side. If they are not allowed to move there, the Chinese authorities should provide them with enough drinking water and food.

RFA contacted the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar via e-mail regarding the issue of refugees fleeing to the Chinese side but did not receive a reply.

Ko Yan Naing, the information officer of the MNDAA Koekant Force, said that according to the current fighting conditions, the refugees may have difficulty returning to their homes. “As far as our organization can reach, we help and take care of refugees around the battlefield. Currently, during the operation, it is quite difficult to cross this Union Highway to return to our territory.”

Due to the fighting in the North Shan region, there are around 10,000 refugees in the Namtit region controlled by the UWSA "Wa" force, on the other side of Chinshwehaw, there are around five thousand refugees in the Maintein city in China, and more than 10,000 refugees in the towns of the northern Shan region, including Hsenwi, Lashio, Kunlong, Monekoe, in total, more than 25,000 refugees have fled their homes.

Residents said that due to the disruption of road communication due to the fighting, there is no help for the refugees.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA-Myanmar) said in a press release yesterday, November 2, that there are battles in at least nine of the 22 townships in northern Shan State, and the number of refugees has increased to more than twenty-three thousand.

Residents of Chinshwehaw, Hsenwi, Kutkai, Lashio, and Namhkam Township were killed and injured due to heavy gunfire and heavy fighting.

Clashes with the Military Council intensified after the three northern alliances, which were formed jointly by the Ta'ang National Liberation Army TNLA, the Kutkai Army (MNDAA), and the Arakan Army (AA), announced the start of "1027 Joint Operation" on October 27.

According to UNOCHA, there are more than 6200 people who have been displaced by the fighting. More than 5,000 are taking refuge in religious buildings, while the remaining 1,000 are said to be taking refuge in the forests. Additionally, UNOCHA said that according to unconfirmed reports, about 500 residents of Chinshwehaw have fled to China.

According to UNOCHA, two people were killed and two others were wounded when they were hit by heavy weapons during a battle between the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), the People's Defense Forces (PDF), and the Military Council Army on October 27 in Kawkareik Township of Karen State. They said the exact number of people displaced by the fighting is still unknown and under investigation.
