The misleading media reported a false story claiming that officials had taken a paralysed woman from Pakkoku Township in Magway Region as a hostage because her son was fleeing to evade military service.
In response to these claims, an official from the Pakkoku Township administrative body for summoning people’s military servants clarified that the story about the woman being held as a hostage is untrue. They confirmed that no one by the name of the youth mentioned in the media resided at the given address and that all actions taken by the officials have been in accordance with the military service law since its implementation. — MNA/TMT
