Narinjara News, May 21, 2025

The telephones, which are based on families of National soldiers from Rakhine in Kyauk Phyu, were confiscated on the basis of information from high authorities, said a family member of Rakhine Soldiers.

She said that the mobile phones of the members of the Rakhine soldier were confiscated in the battalions living in Kyaukphyu Township in the past few days and claimed that internal information was given on leakage.

“Before that, we were still able to communicate on our own telephones in the battalion. Now we cannot. My aunt has always called us often. Now I hear that the phones have been confiscated. They believe that information from the battalion has reached and blocked the outside world,” he said.

In Kyuak Phyu there are three battalions and some naval bass in which many Rakhine nationally serve as soldiers with their families who live in the family district.

After the confiscation, the family members of Rakhine soldiers are forced to contact their families only via the Officeline phone in exile, a person near her told Narinjara.

“The phone was confiscated. But if you want to call, you can call the office phone. We monitor exactly with you,” he said.

On May 18, the Junta battalion based in Kyaukphyu organized a ceremony to traditionally fail (NATS) in the battles in Kyauk Phyu, and the soldiers sang together during the ceremony.

After the news of the appearance was created, their mobile phones were confiscated and their living conditions were even more restrictive than before.

With regard to the confiscation of telephones, CDM captain Zin Yaw said: “The cell phones are a completely barbaric act of the military council. We also experienced it. All SIM cards were confiscated. I myself experienced it as an officer. We don't like it if you do not use this SimP card.”

In Kyauk Phyu there is no (32) police battalion, lib (34), a light infantry battalion (542), the light infantry battalion (543), the Dhanyawady -Marine -Hauptquartier, Taung Maw Base and Ohn Kwein Naval -Base.

The family members of the Rakhine family in Junta -Battalons are closely monitored by the military council and are prevented from entering and leaving the camp because they fear that they could deal with the Arakan Army (AA), which leads to a difficult livelihood and nutritional situation.
