3:32 pm
was condemned by me on mars a shadow national unity government, which opposes the military. but ahead of the meeting, a statement from china drew attention to the insurgent, conflict inside me and mar, foreign minister wang ye, called on the military rulers, to negotiate with their opponents. he's part of that statement from china. we encourage all parties in myanmar to engage in political dialogue within the constitutional and legal framework, and restart the process of democratic transformation. but me on mars, armed conflict now often called a civil war, is raging ferociously, and it's affecting its neighbors to now last week and me and my war plan was filmed as it crossed over into ty airspace several times before attacking rebel positions . tie a school, children in the area were hurried off to $4.00 to $5.00 buildings on the school grounds. local villages were also evacuated with tie fighter jets scrambling to get
3:33 pm
to the area. the attack also sent a wave of people from me on march to cross over the time border in search of safety . thailand's prime minister later said that the armor had apologized for the incident. meantime me on mars military says he'd intend to press a head and execute a group of political opponents. activists say they've been denied fair trials and the un believes these executions could amount to war crimes. over $100.00 people have been sentenced to death since the crew last year and the resulting violent crack down on descent. now our next report is about 2 people facing execution. d. w has been given rare access to footage taken inside myanmar. oh, it was fine yet, and member of parliament, your theatre. ag immediately is it is a few figure, a man must popular movement against the military hunter. he once worked closely
3:34 pm
with the democratically elected on san sushi, now herself in prison. last year's military could turn pills thine to an actor. whist. he helped organize protest against the hunter. botello julie, we invite you all to come together with us and join us in a c, d. m. on a civil disobedience movement. tumor, rockwall get home. i'll pick on the way, but the military brutally put down those 4 test it arrested hundreds of pro democracy activists and send tens, dozens of them, including peers. they are taught to debt. he and longtime actor wisco jimmy have been on debt. so since january called jimmy's actor was, am goes back decades. last year he was among the forced to go for a mass mobilization against the 2021 military coup here. yeah, this is the time for the public to rise up in unity. we need to start a movement of the people,
3:35 pm
adapt me on my state and he read ran military images of both god jimmy and pills. the antar handcuffed with explosives and vans answered the hunter, clean the finance dorothy in themselves. that b. c, political analysts kim's, or when has no one called jimmy since the 1980s, kinsey, himself was imprisoned for 11 years, locked up from what the authorities deal seditious writings under them. well, i say notable. so i think i'm in there thinking the hunter would like to make an example of these t so that all, all the others will also take notes is all really bad situation in grandma, the crisis group all out of abortion. passing that, that sensors will only make it worse so many young people in myanmar are still resisting the regime. some have gone under gram student leaders, landline spoke to
3:36 pm
d. w from an undisclosed location which he was yellow was to all of our comrades were sentenced to death today, including co, jimmy and sir thought, and to the imprison heroes who are still fighting against the hunter. i would like to salute you all to know why. through until comrade and our people get freedom, all continued to take part in this revolution, no matter what or we have a revolution will, must prevail. on $316.00 john gone, youth asked who was on foot banners protesting the destin dental apple. the flash mob just as quickly melted away, worried the military would also come for them. let's speak now to burmese american journalist. i'm intent features editor at frontier me on my currently based in bangkok. welcome to d w e news asia. we've just been hearing about the military's plans to execute days
3:37 pm
to activists. over $100.00 people have already been sentenced to death by the military, but these would be the 1st to be carried out. why do you think it's the military turning to the death penalty to stamp out resistance? so this isn't just the 1st death penalties that will be carried out, since the coo will actually be the 1st that penalties carried out in the country since 1988 near the death penalty has existed for quite a long time. and people have been sentenced. but successive regimes have actually generally tried to avoid going to this level of escalation in terms of dealing with the comments. i think some of the motivations that people have been speculating on in terms of why they're doing this is one they could be revenge for killings by resistance forces or simply to try to scare the resistance to show them that, you know, they're willing to even go further about the regimes and the path path. have also
3:38 pm
speculated that the, the show of power for the military supporters, many of who are being killed in the streets now, who might also themselves be bursting for revenge. and others have also speculated that this might be a way for the military to just show that they are in charge, but they're able to embody sort of the ultimate government power, which is to take the life of it. and this is especially significant as uncle jimmy ankle pills. they are both a former politician and so they are not just sort of resistance but also my political enemies. ok, so you've, you've run through some of the motivations there. in your opinion, do you think these executions will maybe terrorize people into submission? all wheel people may be galvanized to protest and speak out. i think, considering the fact that most people in this country are now at risk of military
3:39 pm
violence, especially in the areas of the country where there is active conflicts. this will likely serve to just for the be legitimize the regime in the eyes of the majority of the country who not only see this as a regime that came to power in a qu, but now are violated. even the most basic understanding of what government does, which is definitely not to carry out that penalties. and it can also have the effect of making negotiations in the future. harder should the military decide at that point to try to do dialogue with any of its enemies, and then may alienate, i like the region who have now spoken out against the announcement execution. now, when a pick up on 2 words, you said the legitimacy and negotiations, china has been calling on the military and me on my to hold talks with its opponents. what is your take on china? china's motivations trying to getting involved now. so china has been fairly
3:40 pm
consistent in calling for a political resolution to what has happened at miramar. and the recent announcements from china have been relatively in line with that. china really wants to see a stable nation on its border. has been a place where it wants to do trade, extract natural resources, as well as have a safe access to the indian ocean. what seems to be difference, or what things have changed recently is that china now calling for dialogue between all parties. and it's also recently stated that all parties have reasonable demands, and this sort of shift and language indicates to a lot of analysts that china may be calling on the me and my military to start making compromises. and to start regarding those that has determined to be, are sort of branded as terrorist as legitimate stakeholders in the discussion of the future. antennas. also recently started using way around. we started democratic transition,
3:41 pm
which some others have interpreted as meaning that china is actually indicating a support for the military's plan for elections. with some of these efforts you've outlined from china, things that as a young has also been doing. but if it's to help bring peace to me on my have stored should, should as young a, which we should point out is the association of southeast asian nations or should eat change tactics. do you think um, so as you know, has largely been working with the military in terms of sort of who determines to be primary stakeholders in the discussion about numerous future. that means that it has not been meeting with the arrested elective lawmakers from the 2020 election who were overthrown during the coo. it has not been meeting with the parallel civilian government that has risen up since the coo and it has not largely been meeting with ethic armed organizations who have also been in conflict with the
3:42 pm
member military for decades. and so when it comes to us here we're seeing is an association that is actually following the lead of the military even as its willing to criticize it. and i think many are calling for it to take a much more robust leadership role and to, to start making decisions that are not necessarily being pre approved by the motor regime. or you, we've got about a minute left. you and i recently spoke about myanmar selections happening next year. i was wondering if you could just talk to our audience about what your most concerned about in these elections next year. yes, i think in terms of the elections, it would be an election run by the military hand. it would only allow for parties that is election commission have t as legitimate political parties. and so the concern here is that 1st, the military is not at the legitimate authority in them are to be running the
3:43 pm
election. and that people would come at that the military would essentially be using this as an excuse to try to create the veneer of democracy and nearby and that international community. once there is a cause, i legitimate cause, i successful an election that the international committee will sort of lose interest and stop pushing for greater change. m r. that was journalist, i mean 10. we really thank you for your in our thank you. thank you for having me. in that seat for to day on t w. use asia, i'm jarrett re to see tomorrow with hold come mikes. how can miss passionate hatred of a people be? exclaimed jo, a gold tom go. a history of anti semitism is
