The Military Council announced the conscription law and said they would start recruiting soldiers after April, but currently, the disappearances of young people across the country, Porter calling are happening continuously. These days, there are more and more missing person ads in big cities. As for the porters, they are grabing on highway cars in broad daylight. In Monywa, the army stopped bus lines running on Mandalay Street and arrested at least forty young people. In Monywa town, people are panicking because any young people who go out are arrested, and the streets of the town are closed to traffic. In Yangon’s Taungdagon Township, the youth were arrested by a team including the police and the district administration. It is known that they were taken away in military vehicles saying that they had to serve in the military. These days, young people are no longer free like before, but they are living in fear. They don’t know what to do. After the conscription law, the revolutionary groups are inviting them to come, but it is not as easy as it seems. The revolutionary groups are saying that the number of young people contacting them these days has increased exponentially. As for the military group, it’s like they got a license to grab porters instead of sneaking.
