On March 12, the armed wing of the Junta entered the Chaung Yoe village, in Sagaing Region’s Taze Township, and shot to death two local villagers, Than Sitt and his son Kyaw Min Khaing, in the head and chest. The victims were running away as houses in the village were set on fire. In addition, Khin Maung Thein, aged around 7o years old, also died, as he was not able to run away.   

A former freelance reporter named Aung Win Htay, living in Mongton Town in Shan State, was arrested  for writing on Facebook about the Junta and the attempted military coup. He was charged under Section 505 of the Penal Code.
