FALSE reports were circulated by malicious news media claiming that around 100 displaced persons were arrested by security forces at Nyaunglebin Village Monastery, Ngazun Township, Mandalay Region.

These fabricated stories were deliberately spread as part of a misinformation campaign. According to a statement from a security official, terrorists posing as local civilians have been carrying out violent activities in villages and towns. In response, security forces have been conducting patrols and necessary inspections to ensure public safety.

Displaced persons were assisted and supported by authorities, contrary to the claims made by these media outlets. These malicious media sources are intentionally spreading false and misleading information about security forces to tarnish their image while covering up the violent acts of terrorists. These deceptive reports aim to mislead the public and serve the interests of terrorists. — MNA/KZL
