NAYPYITAW, 04 November 2021, (TON): According to figures compiled by local media “offices of the National League for Democracy (NLD) across Myanmar have been attacked on more than 50 occasions since the February 1 military coup that ousted their elected administration.”

According to Kyaw Htwe, spokesperson for the NLD’s central executive committee “the party’s offices in Sagaing, Mandalay, Ayeyarwady, Bago and Tanintharyi regions and in Mon and Karen states have all been targeted presumably by the military and its allies.”

Kyaw Htwe told media “all of these incidents took place late at night when only the junta’s soldiers could go out due to martial law.”

Therefore, one could say that only the military council and their armed forces could be responsible for these attacks.

Kyaw Htwe added that several eyewitnesses have reported seeing soldiers and police breaking fences, doors and signboards, and tearing vinyl banners and party flags. In some instances, the attackers broke into and looted the offices, torching the interior and even setting off grenades.

The party documented 47 attacks on their offices in the past nine months, but Myanmar Now’s research revealed 51 in total.
