A 37-year-old woman from Zaytaung Ward in Ann, Arakan State, was arrested for disrupting national stability on December 6, the junta-controlled Myanmar Alinn daily reported on Friday.

Ma Tin Nilar Aung aka Mee Nge, the woman detained, has been using the “Nilar Aung” Facebook account to spread propaganda with the aim of disrupting national stability, the military council alleges.

DMG continues to attempt to contact family members of Ma Tin Nilar Aung regarding the matter.

Since renewed fighting broke out on November 13, Myanmar’s military regime has arrested four residents in Sittwe, Kyaukphyu and Ann on suspicion of having ties to the NUG and CRPH.

Myanmar’s military regime has detained at least 60 civilians in Arakan State since fighting flared anew last month. At least 16 people — seven from Sittwe and nine from Kyaukphyu — have been charged under Sections 505(a) and (b) of the Penal Code during renewed hostilities between the military and Arakan Army (AA) in Arakan State.

The regime has announced that CRPH, NUG, and their affiliates and individuals, which have been declared as terrorist groups, are carrying out incitement and propaganda in various ways with the aim of disrupting the peace and stability of the country.

Anyone who makes, shares, or assists in disseminating propaganda that will disturb the public can be charged under Section 52(a) of the Counter-Terrorism Law, Section 124(a) of the Penal Code, Section 505(a) of the Penal Code and/or Section 33(a) of the Telecommunications Law, the regime has said.
