August 6
According to the Voice Network, phone and internet communication lines had already been cut off in 51 out of the 63 townships where the junta declared a state of emergency (martial law).
On July 31, junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, through the National Defense and Security Council, declared a state of emergency in 63 townships across nine regions and states.
Based on data compiled by the Voice Network up to the end of June, the military junta had already imposed communication blackouts in 51 of these 63 townships even before the official declaration. The report also found that the junta had intentionally cut off communication lines in areas not under a state of emergency as well.
The report highlights that, following the cut-off of communication lines, the junta has conducted ground operations and airstrikes targeting not only military entities but also civilian populations without distinction, thereby committing widespread violations of human rights in the affected areas.

๐๐ 4. Petition Submitted to Thai Senate to Terminate Issuance of CI Booklets that Provide Tax Revenue to Myanmar Junta, and to Adopt Thailand’s Pink Card as the Sole Valid Document
August 6
A formal petition has been submitted to the Thai Senate requesting the termination of the issuance of Certificate of Identity (CI) booklets—which currently generate tax revenue for the Myanmar military junta—and proposing that only Thailand’s “Pink Card” be recognized and permitted as the official document for Myanmar migrant workers.
It was learned that the Bright Future Group submitted this petition on August 5.
The appeal specifically urged the Thai government to suspend the use of the “green CI booklet” (Certificate of Identity) issued by Myanmar authorities to identify migrant workers and to recognize the “Pink Card” issued by Thailand’s Ministry of Interior as the sole primary document for Myanmar migrant workers.
Thai Senator Mr. Tawarit Maneesai confirmed that he would continue pursuing this matter, stating that the responsibility of the Thai Labor Affairs Committee is to ensure the rights and welfare of all migrant workers, regardless of nationality.
