Descriptions

Maung Maung Ohn has been the Minister of Information since 1 Aug 2021. He was appointed by the State Administrative Council (SAC), led by Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, which took over the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the State as of 2 Feb 2021. He was previously Minister of Hotels and Tourism, having been appointed on 7 Feb 2021. As Government Minister, he forms part of the military regime which seized power during a military coup and overthrew legitimately elected leaders in Myanmar/Burma. As Minister of Information, he has control over the State-owned media (MWD, MRTV, Myanmar Alin, Kyemon and Global New Light of Myanmar newspapers and the Myanmar News Agency (MNA) and Myanmar Digital News), and thus controls the broadcast and publication of official news. He has continued and further strengthened the repressive policies following the military coup, notably by amending the Television and Radio Broadcasting Law, imposing additional restrictions on the freedom of expression and press freedom, including by restricting internet access, criminalising journalism and imprisoning journalists. Additionally, he instructed the members of the Myanmar Media Council, an independent body, to implement the government’s objectives. Therefore, his actions, policies and activities undermine democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma, and he is engaged in actions that threaten the peace, security and stability of Myanmar/Burma.

Maung Maung Ohn est ministre de l'information depuis le 1er août 2021. Il a été nommé par le Conseil d'administration de l'État (SAC), dirigé par le commandant en chef Min Aung Hlaing, qui s'est emparé des pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l'État à partir du 2 février 2021. Il a été nommé ministre de l'hôtellerie et du tourisme le 7 février 2021. En sa qualité de ministre du gouvernement, il fait partie du régime militaire qui a pris le pouvoir dans le cadre d'un coup d'État militaire et renversé les dirigeants légitimement élus du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. En tant que ministre de l'information, il exerce un contrôle sur les 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 contrôle ainsi la diffusion et la publication des informations officielles. Il a poursuivi et renforcé encore les politiques répressives à la suite du coup d'État militaire, notamment en modifiant la loi sur la télévision et la radiodiffusion et en imposant des restrictions supplémentaires à la liberté d'expression et la liberté de la presse, y compris par une limitation de l'accès à l'internet, la criminalisation du journalisme et l'emprisonnement de journalistes. En outre, il a chargé les membres du Conseil des médias du Myanmar/de la Birmanie, un organisme indépendant, de mettre en œuvre les objectifs du gouvernement. Par conséquent, ses actions, politiques et activités portent atteinte à la démocratie et à l'état de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie, et il participe à des actions qui menacent la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité du Myanmar/de la Birmanie.
