Security forces in Myanmar arrest dozens in a preemptive move to suppress plans for a nationwide strike on the one-year anniversary of the army’s seizure of power
The detainees, in the cities of Yangon, Mandalay and Myawaddy, include shopkeepers, restaurant owners, a doctor, a make-up artist, a mobile phone repair shop owner and an astrologer.
One of the planned follow-up protests will then switch tactics by calling on supporters to make noise by banging pots and pans, or honking horns. Their arrests followed official warnings that anyone taking part in the strike would be liable to prosecution on at least four counts — including under the Counterterrorism Law — with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and the possible confiscation of their property.The crackdown was confirmed by friends and family of some of the targets, including the SIP Café Club from Mandalay.
