1. Military Intelligence Service (MIS) officers from the Navy has
been tracking down five NLD youth members from Thaketa township.
One MIS officer known as Yan Myo Aung (aka) Yan Myo Thein has
been threatening the parents, family members and relatives of the
youth members that they will be arrested instead, as the MIS
officers have not been able to apprehend the five.

2. The NLD regards this act of lawlessness and injustice as an
extreme abuse of power. The NLD hereby demands that the
authorities immediately stop arresting NLD members traveling on
buses and walking on the roads.
