Yangon – Myanmar’s coup leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has again told publications that they will lose their publishing licenses for referring to the military “regime” or “junta”.
The Ministry of Information said the words “regime or junta” cannot be used for the military-appointed State Administrative Council, saying it “was constitutionally formed by the military”.
The ministry sent directives to the Myanmar Press Council, a media body that settles media disputes, calling for journalists to report “ethically” and “avoid instigating public unrest”.
