Myanmar's military violence against protesters condemning the coup is increasing in intensity.
It is known that he does not hesitate to shoot indiscriminately live ammunition against protesters during the day, and at night, they are known to trespass into the homes of key figures, arrest them, and even torture them.
It is observed that it is a move to weaken the power of the protests by pressing the members of the national advisory camp of Aung San Suu Kyi and citizen activists who lead the protests by the rebels.
Yesterday (7th), local media Irawadi reported that Kin Maung Rat, chairman of the Yangon Pavedan District, belonging to the NLD, a democratic national alliance led by Suu Kyi, was taken away by the military police and died of torture that night.
NLD officials also told AFP that they had confirmed that some of the party officials were arrested by the military police the night before.
Local media, Myanmar Now, reported that police and policemen used flash grenades in various places in Yangon that night, moving around several houses and arresting people.
Sitou Maung, a member of the NLD, wrote on Facebook that "the military police came to catch Maung Maung, who is in charge of public affairs in the NLD, but couldn't find it," and "his brother was hit by the military police and was tortured while hanging upside down."
Earlier, on the 5th, about 25 supporters of the Unified Unity and Development Party receiving military support in a village in the central Magwe region, wielded weapons against eight people, including representatives of the NLD region, family members, and relatives.
The incident killed a representative of the NLD region and his nephew, 17, and five relatives were injured, including being stabbed by a weapon, Myanmar Now reported.
The Myanmar Political Offender Support Association issued a statement and said that as of yesterday, more than 1,700 people were arrested.
It seems that the military government aimed at weakening the power of the protests against NLD personnel in night arrests and terrorism.
The military and police continued to suppress violence against the protesters.
In Yangon, the largest city, the military and police disbanded protesters yesterday using tear gas tube flash grenades and the like.
On social media, there was also a scene where the military police indiscriminately assaulted three protesters with clubs.
In Mandalay, a second city where tens of thousands of people protested, several people were injured and at least 70 people were arrested, according to local media.
Even in Bagan, which is home to Myanmar's largest Buddhist site, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, life was injured as military and police fired live ammunition and rubber ammunition at protesters, local media Irrawaddy reported.
Reuters reported that an international lobbyist hired by Myanmar's military insisted that the military wants to move away from China and improve relations with the United States and the West.
Ari Benmenashi, an Israeli-Canadian, argued in a telecom and telephone interview, saying that state adviser Aung San Suu Kyi, arrested and detained by the military, has become too close to China from the perspective of military generals. "There is real pressure to get closer to the United States."
He added that the military "does not want to be a puppet in China."
