which opposes the military. but ahead of the meeting, a statement from china drew attention to the insurgent. conflict inside me on my 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, tire school children in the area were hurried off to 4 to 5 buildings on the school grounds. local villages were also evacuated with tie fighter jets scrambling to get 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 crackdown 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 hip hop minute and member of parliament. your theatre in italy is a few figure, a man must popular movement against the military hunter. he once worked closely 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, walk all of it, all along pickled away. but the military brutally put down those protest. it arrested hundreds of pro democracy activists. and sentence 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 m goes back decades. last year, he was among the forced to go 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 at danbury, put me on my state and he read ran military images of both god jimmy and pills. the antar handcuffed with explosives and vance, answered the hunter,

clean the finance dorothy in themselves. mad. 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 dealing 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 would also pick notes is all really bad situation in grandma, you know, 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 graham student leader nan lynn spoke to d. w from an undisclosed location. he was younger in a while to all of our comrades were sentenced to death today, including co,

jimmy and sir thought until the imprisoned heroes were still fighting against the hunter. i would like to salute you all to know. we'll give you a rule until her comrades on our people get freedom. personally, i'll continue to take part in this revolution. no matter what are we? our revolution must prevail when we simply and young gone youth actress hanford, banners protesting the death sentences, 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

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 a death penalty solidly carried out us since the cool will actually be the 1st death penalties carried out in the country since 1988 and near my 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 its opponents. i think some of the motivations that people have been speculating on in terms of why they're doing this, is that 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 than other regimes in the past have met some of the have also speculated that this is a show of power for the military supporters,

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, that they are able to embody sort of the ultimate government power, which is to take the lives of its citizens. and this is especially significant as i could you, me and go via are both former politicians and so they are not just sort of resistance, but also clue the colon arcade. 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 or will people maybe be delving eyes to, 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,

this will likely serve to just for the de, 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 cool, but now are badly even the most basic understanding of what a government of them are 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 any point to try to do dialogue with any of its enemies, and then may alienate allies in the region who have now 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 in myanmar 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 consistent in calling for a political resolution to what has happened in 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 new mar military to start making compromises. and to start regarding those a has determined to be, are sort of branded as terrorist as legitimate stakeholders in the discussion of the immersed future antennas. also recently started using way around. we started democratic transition, which some others have interpreted as meaning that china is actually indicating

a support for the military's plan for an election. 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 so i can have largely been working with the military in terms of sort of who it determines to be primary stakeholders in the discussion about the future. that means that it has not been meeting with the arrested elective lawmakers from the 2020 election who are overthrown to mac, who has not been meeting with the parallel civilian government that has risen up since the coo and it has not largely been meeting with the armed organizations who have also been in conflict with the military for decades. and so when it comes

with seeing is an association that is actually following the lead, the military, even adults willing to the fact that 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 be pre approved by the military regime. you, we've got about a minute left. you and i recently spoke about me on my 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 on the elections run by the military and it would only allow for parties that is election commission have d as which is a political parties. and so the concern here is that person, okay, is not a be legitimate authority and them are to be, i mean, the election and that people would that the military with essentially be using this

as an excuse to try to create the veneer of democracy in the head that international community. once there is a clause, i legitimate was i successful election, got the international committee sort of losing. i'd stop pushing for greater change . that was journalist aim in 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 jarrett re, to see tomorrow with she's up to date. don't miss our highlights. the d w program on line d, w dot com highlights you become criminal. m pre kline. i already know who's
