MAGWAY DIVISION – Junta council soldiers abducted ten youths at the junction of Pin Pagoda Road, Yenangyaung Town, on Thursday (April 25) at around 8 a.m.
The junta forces opened a security checkpoint between Twin Kon and Thahtay Kon Residential Wards, illegally detaining those riding motorcycles, youths, and passersby. They collected ten youths for conscription, halted the inspection, and departed for the villages.
“They abducted those young people going to the market or work, as well as motorcycle riders one after another. Around 10 were taken away by the junta council,” said a resident.
Currently, the junta council faces difficulties in recruiting new troops for batch 2 of the conscription law, resulting in daytime and nighttime abductions of youths.
