Authorities Arrest Youth Group in Chin State

Security forces arrested four members of the Thangtlang Youth Association in a private home in Thangtlang town, Chin state, on March 27.

Authorities released Ngun Thawng Lian and Pu Tial Cung the following day. They charged Pu Tial Ceu, who owns the home, and his son Salai Van Hmun Sang for violating Article 505/a of Burma’s Penal Code.

In February, the regime amended the law to prosecute the Civil Disobedience Movement.

Recently, security forces also arrested six youths at a protest in Chin State capital, Hakha.
