Myanmar military junta forces have arrested a married couple in Mon State’s Thanbyuzayat Township for allegedly supplying information to anti-junta resistance forces, according to residents and sources close to the police.

The couple—identified as 31-year-old Aung Myint Mo Htet (also known as Maung Phyu) and his wife, Ma Phyu Phyu Aung (also known as Ma Phyu)—were detained around noon on September 4 while working as rubber tappers in the Peinhnetaw village area.

Sources close to local law enforcement said the migrant couple was targeted for allegedly reporting military troop movements to joint Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and People’s Defense Force (PDF) units, as well as failing to report resistance activity to junta authorities.

“They were arrested because they were reportedly providing information to revolutionary groups about the movements and activities of the military,” a resident told Mon News.

The couple is currently being held at Thanbyuzayat Police Station and faces prosecution under Section 52(a) of the Counter-Terrorism Law, a charge that carries severe prison sentences.

The arrests reflect a broader ongoing crackdown across Mon State, where junta forces routinely detain civilians on suspicion of aiding revolutionary groups. In August, three residents were similarly charged under the Counter-Terrorism Law merely for posting comments on social media pages associated with resistance organizations.
