In some townships in Yangon Region, on June 19th, the SAC military chased and arrested the women who were adorning flowers.
The above arrests were made in Kamaryut Township and Ahlone Township since 8:00 am today, and the police under the SAC military were forced to disguise themselves as civilians and arrest them to report the news, said a reliable source.
“I don’t think it will be a violation of the law to adorn flowers. Today at 8:00 a.m. four family members came back after buying flowers from Sinmalet market. Around 11:30 a.m., 3 vendors and the woman adorning flowers were arrested in a DC car (military vehicle). Three more women who are holding flowers were arrested at Juction Square around 10:30 a.m.,” he said.
According to the MPA investigation, those arrested by the SAC military are women, and at least 14 people including a 60-year-old grandmother, were detained by the military of the SAC.
At about 9:45 a.m. in this morning, 3 women were arrested near Forest Road in Ahlone Township, said an eyewitness from Ahlone Township.
“In the morning today, 3 women who were adorning flowers were arrested. I don’t know why they were arrested. The DC car (military vehicle) stopped and took them away,” he said.
In this morning, the SAC military surrounded around by a DC car in Kamayut Township, and people adorning flowers and people wearing masks and people wearing black and red shirts, were focused to arrest. MPA has not yet known exactly the specifics of the subsequent events.
Today, June 19, is the 78th birthday of State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
