4:34 pm
now herself in prison. last year's military could turn pill z i into an actor whist . he helped organized protest against the hunter, botello. susie, we invite you all to come together at this and join us in a, c, d. m, on a civil disobedience movement to that, won't all of these all alo pickled away. but the military brutally put down those 4 test. it arrested hundreds of pro democracy actor wrist and sentence dozens of them, including peers. they are tied to debt. he and longtime actor wisc or jimmy have been on death row since january called jimmy's activism goes back decades. last year he was among the forced to coil for a mass mobilization against the 2021 military coup. here. this is the time for the public to rise up in unity. we need to start a movement of the people. a jammed up with me on my state and he read ran military images of both god jimmy and pill, seattle, handcuffed with explosives and weapons,
4:35 pm
answered the hunter, clean the finance dorothy and themselves. mary. b political analyst. kim's, or when has no one called jimmy. since the 1980s, kinsey, himself was in prison 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 the city so that all, all the others were also pick notes is all really bad situation. in grandma, you, the crisis is cruel all out of abortion. passing that their sensors will only make it worse. many young people in myanmar are still resisting the regime. some have gone under gram student lead, landline sport to d, w from an undisclosed location. he was younger in
4:36 pm
a while to all of our comrades were sentenced to death, including co. jimmy and sir thought, are you until the imprisoned heroes were still fighting against the hunter. i would like to salute you all to know. we will give you a rule until our comrades on our people get freedom. all continued to take part in this revolution. no matter what are we? our revolution must prevail. oh, we simply in gen, gone, youth, activist, hanford, banners protesting the deaths and the flash mob just as quickly melted away, glaring the military would also come for them. let's speak now to burmese american journalist, aim intent features editor at frontier myanmar. currently based in bangkok, welcome to d, w. use asia. we've just been hearing about the military's plans to execute these 2
4:37 pm
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 is 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 crew 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 killing by resistance forces or simply to try to scare the resistance to show them that, you know, they're willing to even go further than other regimes in the path path have also speculated that the, the show of power for the military supporters,
4:38 pm
many of whom 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 are 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. okay, 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 violence, especially in the areas of the country where there is active conflict,
4:39 pm
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, got 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 spoken out against the announcement the 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
4:40 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 seat 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, um, china may be calling on the mm hm. our 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, which some others have interpreted as meaning that china is actually indicating
4:41 pm
a support for the military to plan for an election. with some of these efforts you've outlined from china, things that as a young has also been doing, but its efforts 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 are 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
4:42 pm
member military for decades. and so when it comes to us, you are seeing 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 lectured 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 election. and that people would come at that the military would essentially be
4:43 pm
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. but was journalist, i mean 10, we really thank you for your analysis. thank you. thank you for having in that seat for to day on t. w. use asia, i'm shower drain to see tomorrow with interest, the global economy, our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance
