Myanmar’s military is using #CCTV to monitor & target anyone who opposes it – without transparency. The private sector must stop selling equipment for smart city infrastructures to authoritarian dictatorships. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #EyesOnExpression article19.org/cctv-myanmar-m…

It is apparent now, more than ever, that such technology has become a tool to oppress pro-democracy movements under the illegitimate military junta which employs it to track, arrest and even kill activists. (8/8)

Myanmar people are well aware of the presence and dangers of watchful eyes on every corner in big cities such as Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw. The protesters took inspiration from Hong Kong, and covered, or even destroyed, CCTVs in some areas during the protests. (7/8)

Cyber Security Bill is on its ways. We strongly reject the bill. I urge Telcos @Telenor_mm & @ooredoo_mm to do the best they can to defend our limited freedom under military junta. And I ask Intl Coms to cut ties with Military-own Telco. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

3. We strongly demand the current military regime to halt any undemocratic practices. (4/4)

2. We do not accept, acknowledge or comply with this “bill” and directive as well as any other future “bills” that may be drafted by the current military regime in an attempt to oppress the people. (3/4)

158 civil society organizations, reject the so-called “Cyber Security Bill” drafted by the current military regime, which has not been entrusted by the people with legislative power. #DigitalRightsMM #WhatIsHappeningInMyanmar (1/4)
