Hell in 2021: Myanmar Under the Military Junta After the Coup leg-cuffed and thrown into solitary confinement.9 Among the protesters, Ko Sitt Naing, the ViceChairman of Yangon University of Education Students Union, who had his head and back injured but was denied access to medical treatment and forced into solitary confinement instead, is reportedly now in critical condition. Similarly, Ko Wai Yan Phyo Moe, Vice-Chairman of All Burma Federation of Students Unions (ABSFU) and Ko Lay Pyay Soe Moe, Yangon University Students Union member and a responsible official for student’s rights, were heavily thrashed, leg-cuffed and held in isolation.10 The Junta’s Weaponization of COVID-19 Myanmar people are more frightened to live in fear from generation to generation under the military regime which is much more disastrous than COVID-19. Unsurprisingly, there is a bunch of evidence that the junta chief and his troops have used COVID-19 as a weapon to oppress the people with an aim to hold the illegitimate power, leaving the people at the mercy of deadly risks as the pandemic embodied the most devastating condition during the third wave in Myanmar between July and August. As the consequences of the coup, common drug shortage in the market, skyrocketing medicine prices, a blanket ban on import of medicines and medical kits, forcible closure of hospitals, clinics, and community pharmacies, and banning oxygen factories from selling oxygen cylinders to civilians erupted. Families especially those living in the populous Yangon Region experienced lament for losing their beloveds at home while looking for oxygen hard in the community. The military ordered a state-owned oxygen plant in Yangon’s Theinbyu Shipyard not to sell it to civilians, on 10 July, according to an anonymous plant official’s answer to Myanmar Now. On 12 July evening, the people queuing for the oxygen on Loikaw street in Yangon’s South Dagon Industrial Park fled and left the oxygen cylinders as junta troops fired bullets to break up the queue and arrest them.11 A woman from Insein township was also prohibited by the troops at an oxygen plant on Min Dhamma Road on the night of 12 July.12 On 19 July again, the junta troops under the disguise of patients called and detained doctors healing COVID-19 patients in North Dagon Township, Yangon, and coerced them to get the location of their office. Then, the office was raided, ending with the arrest of two medical doctors providing online health guidelines for the North Dagon residents and three voluntary doctors working on the 9 December 13, 2021. အင်းစိနေ ် ထာင် အသံတတ ိ သ ် ပိတ် 2ဖိUခွငး် ခံရ2ပီး တိက ( ပ ် ိတခ ် ရ ံ ေGကာင်း ေထာင်နနီ ဲ ့ းစပ်သေ J တွေြပာ.
