Myanmar's junta-controlled media announced a ban on satellite television
receivers on Tuesday, saying outside broadcasts threatened national
security and threatening to jail anyone caught violating the measure.
With mobile internet access largely cut off in a bid to quell anti-junta
protests since the Feb. 1 coup, Myanmar has increasingly appeared headed
back to the state of isolation that preceded a decade of democratic reforms.
"Satellite television is no longer legal. Whoever violates the
television and video law, especially people using satellite dishes,
shall be punished with one year imprisonment and a fine of 500,000 kyat
($320)," MRTV state television said.
"Illegal media outlets are broadcasting news that undermines national
security, the rule of law and public order, and encouraging those who
commit treason."
In the face of widespread opposition, the junta has struggled to impose
order since overthrowing elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and ending an
unsteady transition to democracy.
Violence has spiralled since the coup and security forces have killed
more than 760 civilians, the Assistance Association for Political
Prisoners (AAPP) advocacy group says. The junta disputes the figure and
says 24 police and soldiers have died in the protests.
Myanmar media reported that five people were killed by at least one
parcel bomb on Tuesday, including an ousted lawmaker and three police
officers who had joined a civil disobedience movement opposing military
rule.
Meanwhile, the Chinland Defence Force, a newly formed militia in Chin
state bordering India, said on its Facebook page on Tuesday that its
forces had killed at least four Myanmar army soldiers and wounded 10 in
a clash overnight.
