In Myanmar, the coup-caused army has announced that it has stripped the licenses of major media outlets in the country, but many media outlets continue to report on the status of protests.
There is a possibility that the military will forcibly stop reporting due to detention, etc., and it seems that the focus will be on how hard measures will be taken.
On the night of the 8th, the Myanmar military announced on state television that it had stripped its licenses from five major domestic media outlets, mainly on the Internet, after a coup d'etat.
On the 9th, one night after the announcement, four of the five media continued to report on the Internet.
Among them, the major "Mijima" has posted a statement that "as an independent media, it will continue to fight against the military coup and regain democracy and human rights," and three media have declared their intention to continue reporting. I am also sending a message.
The military has been strengthening information control by detaining media personnel interviewed on the scene and warning them not to use the word "coup" when forcibly eliminating protest demonstrations. ..
In the future, the military may take steps to forcibly stop the press by occupying the office or detaining itself, and it seems that the focus will be on how hard measures will be taken.
