DVB TV News fabricate stories: Kyaiksakaw’s prisoners suffering from diarrhoea

On 31 July, DVB TV News allegedly circulated false information on their Facebook page, claiming that prisoners at Kyaiksakaw Prison were suffering from diarrhoea.
According to an official, in line with the directives of the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Director General’s Office, dormitories are systematically cleaned, disinfectants are sprayed, sewage areas are treated with lime, only clean drinking water is used, and packages are checked for health safety to prevent diarrheal diseases that might arise due to weather conditions in prisons, detention centres, and camps.
Additionally, the medical supretendent of the prison hospital conducted health checks on prisoners at DaikU Prison and Kyaiksakaw Camps to assess for diarrhoea. The prison’s medical staff are responsible for the health of the prisoners without charge.
Therefore, the report by DVB TV News on their Facebook page is false and fabricated, intended to mislead the public and create misconceptions about the routine activities of the prison. — Ko Phyo/TKO
