מיאנמר: המורדים חטפו עיתונאית

Bangkok, September 23, 2025—Myanmar’s Arakan Army must account for and immediately release local Border News Agency reporter Mu Dra, who was abducted by the rebel group’s forces on September 20, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Tuesday. Naing told CPJ that Mu Dra reports on human rights and conflict issues in Rakhine state, including regular documentation of forced recruitment, abductions, and violence against vulnerable populations. Arakan Army spokesperson Khine Thu Kha did not immediately respond to CPJ’s emailed request for comment sent through the group’s website. Rebel groups have targeted and detained journalists since the nation’s long-running civil war escalated following the 2021 military coup, according to CPJ’s reporting. Myanmar was the world’s third-worst jailer of journalists, with 35 behind bars, in CPJ’s latest annual prison census.
