Myanmar junta destroys several Christian buildings and plants bombs everywhere in Southern Chin State, making its residents fear for their lives returning homes
Places of religious worship, including temples & churches, continued to be destroyed by shelling and indiscriminate firing by the military junta. In #Chin, the junta has planted landmines around church compounds. Destruction of property is a serious crime.
The junta first shelled heavy weapons against the town targeting residential properties in June and November, damaging several properties, including four Christian religious buildings.

The home of Gospel’s Baptist Church has been completely destroyed after being shelled by a rocket-propelled grenade and small weapons, and all properties inside have been taken away before it was destroyed.

Junta troops raided Kebar Village in Sagaing’s Ayadaw Township on Monday and torched houses. The village has around 100 households; almost all the houses were destroyed in the fire, residents said.

Cost of war: Myanmar rebels crowdfund resistance to military coup

From a small city in Northeast Asia, the woman known only as Burmese Beast is crowdfunding the resistance to the Myanmar military government.
Working on her iPad while listening to podcasts like the BBC’s You’re Dead to Me, the assistant professor in her 30s organises fundraising campaigns on social media, offering to draw portraits in exchange for money she then donates to the cause of opposing the military government.
Burmese Beast, who left Myanmar more than a decade ago, has sent funds to humanitarian aid workers, striking civil servants and, more recently, the People’s Defence Force (PDF), the armed wing of the National Unity Government (NUG), the parallel administration formed by politicians removed from power in February’s military coup. Both groups have been labelled terrorist organisations by the military regime in Naypyidaw, which is officially known as the State Administration Council (SAC).

“As a fundraiser, I have been in touch with a lot of young people who joined the PDF and they are doing it because they feel hopeless about their futures, not because they are violent or have thirst for blood,” said Burmese Beast, who insists people have been left with no choice but to take up arms against the coup leaders and the forces backing them up.

“I do not condone violence, nor do I feel happiness when I read news about SAC soldiers dying.”

At least 35 charred bodies found in Karenni State village on Christmas
The remains of at least 35 charred bodies, including one belonging to a child, were found near a village in eastern Myanmar’s Karenni (Kayah) State early Christmas morning, according to both locals and an anti-junta armed resistance group based in the region.

The bodies were found on eight burned vehicles and five motorbikes near the village of Moso on Saturday. The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) has accused the Myanmar military troops who were present in the area on Friday of committing the crime in question.

Chindwin News Agency
@TheChindwin
#BREAKING: Royal Thai Army has sent its troops to Mae Sot, the Thailand-Myanmar border Town after 15 rounds of heavy artillery shelled by Myanmar’s junta landed on Mae Sot - the border Town, destroying residential properties.

Myanmar’s military regime is being accused of breaching the Geneva Convention and International Humanitarian Law by repeatedly using its air force to attack civilian targets across the country.
By Dec. 22, the junta used its air force, including helicopters and fighter jets, to indiscriminately attack civilians, People’s Defense Forces (PDFs) and ethnic armed groups in almost 20 townships in Sagaing, Magwe and Tanintharyi regions and Kachin, Chin, Shan and Kayah states, according to U Aung Myo Min, the human rights minister in the shadow National Unity Government and other sources.

During the junta airstrikes, civilians and resistance fighters were killed and several thousand civilians fled homes. Thousands of civilian homes have been burned down in regime raids.

EXCLUSIVE: An interview with tactical commander and a sniper of CDF – Mindat who takes down around 100 junta soldiers

Image

Mindat Town
is located in the southern part of Chin State, with more than 30,000 inhabitants in the town. People are united in refusing the military coup and strongly protesting against the military. Led by the political youth activists, the people’s movement is so strong that it led to becoming one of the first town in the country that fights the military junta’s security forces with home-made Tumi rifle.

In defense of the town, people and democracy, Mindat’s people decided to form a civilian defense force and named it as Chinland Defense Force – Mindat becoming the first civilian armed defense formation in Chin State.

With the group increasingly becoming strong and threatening to the junta forces in Mindat Township, the Myanmar junta has cut off all communication lines and geared up its offensive against the CDF – Mindat with enormous forces, weapons and airstrike.

Chindwin: Is it correct that you have taken down around 100 junta soldiers?

NT: Technically, yes – but I have more than 70 confirmed dead, while we do not confirm around 30 due to the parameter of the fighting area, and the CDF-Mindat is not able to do clearance operations. However, I know that they are well hit. Maybe, it could be more than that or around just a 100.

Myanmar Junta Aircraft Attack Near Thai Border
Myanmar’s junta has launched air attacks against a Karenni Army (KA) camp following clashes near Hway Pu Laung on the Thai border.

Planes fired on the KA, the armed wing of the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), about five times on Hway Pu Laung hill on Friday morning, according to Khu Daniel, the KNPP’s secretary.

Around 200 villagers fled crossed the border into the Thai province of Mae Hong Song because of the airstrikes, said Khu Daniel.

Hway Pu Laung has seen heavy fighting between the KA and Myanmar’s military in the past and battles have resumed since the February coup.

now a total of 6 years in jail< at her age ( 76 year old) this might be a death sentence
not counting the other numerous charges she still faces>
what a political farce..
A court in military-ruled Myanmar on Monday sentenced ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in jail on charges including possession of unlicensed walkie-talkies, a source familiar with the proceedings said.

The latest sentencing in legal proceedings that rights groups have criticised as a farce and a "courtroom circus" means she faces a six-year jail term after two convictions last month.

this week alone

A Myanmar junta airstrike destroyed a hospital run by the Karen National Union (KNU) in Karen State on early Wednesday morning.

Two regime aircraft bombed the hospital in Papun, a township and district in Karen State in southeast Myanmar that is known as Mutraw in the Karen language. The hospital is operated by the Karen National Liberation Army’s (KNLA) Brigade Five and is in territory controlled by the ethnic armed group. The KNLA is the armed wing of the KNU.

Fighters from Putao’s People’s Defense Force (PDF-Putao) and ethnic armed group the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) clashed with junta troops in northern Myanmar on Sunday. It was the second battle in the remote far north of Kachin State in the last two weeks.

The resistance group said it engaged some 60 junta troops on Sunday morning in Sumprabum Town. The regime soldiers were from the Putao-based Light Infantry Battalions 137 and 138.

Cease fire JOKING

Thousands of people running from reported Myanmar military raids find little sense of safety at refugee camps in Thailand.
Since last year’s February 1 military takeover in Myanmar, security forces have carried out a deadly crackdown on protesters and activists, as well as other civilians who opposed the coup, igniting armed resistance.

According to the Myanmar rights watchdog, Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, at least 1,488 people have been killed during the government crackdown. The Myanmar government has repeatedly justified the violence saying security forces are only going after “terrorists”.

In recent weeks, air attacks and mass killings allegedly carried out by Myanmar’s military in Kayin and Kayah states have forced thousands to escape to relative safety in Thailand.

But even those who managed to across the border say they still feel unsafe from the Myanmar army. Many say they are struggling to survive at the camps in Thailand because of inadequate food, water and medical assistance.
Patrick Phongsathorn, a human rights specialist for Fortify Rights, told Al Jazeera the Thai government has not given humanitarian groups access to refugees.

“The Thai government is trying to control the situation, but it’s a really disastrous way to handle things,” he said.

On few occasions, some Thai aid groups have successfully gained access to the camps. But they also said there were instances in previous months that they were pushed back.

“It’s really sad that the Thai government is playing politics with what is essentially a humanitarian crisis.”

At least 3,000 people have been displaced in recent days by fighting between local defense groups and government forces in Myanmar’s southern Chin state, with around 400 crossing for safety into neighboring India, local villagers and aid workers say.
Residents from around 30 villages in the state’s Matupi township are now on the run, one local source told RFA on Thursday
.
More than 30,000 residents of Chin state have now fled clashes in the area to shelter in India, according to the India-based Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO).

“If this fighting continues it is likely that even more people will cross over to India,” said CHRO deputy executive director Salai Za Op Lin. “We are very worried about further human rights abuses committed by the military, as many of these are happening eve now.

Junta threatens ‘silent strike’ participants with major criminal charges
Those who stay home in protest or close their shops on the coup anniversary could face life in prison, the military council warns

Those who adhere to or promote revolutionary forces’ calls to close businesses and stay home in protest on the upcoming coup anniversary could face life in prison, the military warned on Tuesday.

On January 22, the General Strike Coordination Body (GSCB) began promoting a February 1 “silent strike” in which all civilians are asked to refrain from going out in public—for work or errands—from 10am until 4pm that day.

The move, according to GSCB, is to empty the streets of the country in acknowledgement of those killed or arrested by the junta’s forces during the last year.

The military council responded to the call three days later by announcing that anyone found to be taking part in or promoting the silent strike would see their property confiscated and face multiple criminal charges.
