Descriptions

U Chit Naing was the Minister of Union Government heading the Ministry of Union Government Office from 1 Aug 2021 until 18 Aug 2022. He was the Minister for Information from 2 Feb 2021 to 31 Jul 2021. He was appointed by the Chairman of the State Administrative Council (SAC) that took over the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the State as of 2 Feb 2021. As Minister for Information, he was responsible for state-owned media (MWD, MRTV, Myanmar Alin, Kyemon and Global New Light of Myanmar newspapers, as well as the Myanmar News Agency (MNA) and Myanmar Digital News), and thus for the broadcasting and publication of official news. During his term as Minister for Information, the newspapers were filled with pro-military articles and he is therefore responsible for junta propaganda and spreading disinformation through state media that are not reporting accurately. He is directly responsible for decisions that led to the crackdown on Myanmar media. This includes directives, which ordered independent media not to use the words “coup”, “military regime” and “junta”, and which has seen five local news outlets banned in the country. In his previous positions as member of the government, his actions, policies and activities undermined democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma.

U Chit Naing a été le ministre du gouvernement de l’Union qui a dirigé le ministère du bureau du gouvernement de l’Union (Ministry of Union Government Office) entre le 1er août 2021 et le 18 août 2022. Il a été ministre de l’information entre le 2 février 2021 et le 31 juillet 2021. Il a été nommé par le président du Conseil d’administration de l’État (SAC), qui s’est emparé des pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l’État le 2 février 2021. En tant que ministre de l’information, il était responsable des médias d’État (MWD, MRTV, les journaux Myanmar Alin, Kyemon et Global New Light of Myanmar, ainsi que l’agence de presse Myanmar News Agency (MNA) et le Myanmar Digital News), et donc de la diffusion et de la publication des informations officielles. Lorsqu’il était ministre de l’information, les journaux étaient remplis d’articles favorables à l’armée, et il est donc responsable de la propagande de la junte et de la propagation de la désinformation par l’intermédiaire des médias d’État, lesquels n’informent pas avec exactitude. Il est directement responsable des décisions qui ont conduit à la répression exercée contre les médias du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Cela inclut des directives ordonnant aux médias indépendants de ne pas utiliser les termes “coup d’État”, “régime militaire” et “junte”, et se traduisant par l’interdiction de cinq médias locaux dans le pays. Dans le cadre de ses fonctions précédentes de membre du gouvernement, ses actions, ses politiques et ses activités portaient atteinte à la démocratie et à l’État de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie.
