All relatives of Daw Kyu Kyu Hla, wife of junta’s supreme leader senior generalMin Aung Hlaing hailing from her hometown have been exempted from the People's Military Service Law,said a source familiar with the village administration.

Kyu Kyu Hla's hometown is Zee Kyun village under Auk Nat Maw village-tract inThandwe township.

A former village administrator informed Narinjara News that on 14 March, thegeneral administration office of Thandwe district issued military serviceexemption cards to the relatives of  Kyu Kyu Hla.

The exemption cards were  issued under  thesupervision of Thandwe district administration office.

The person in charge in Zee Kyun village compiled the listof Kyu Kyu Hla's relatives, which was later then sent to the concerned officefor necessary actions.

A local young social activist criticized the juntachief  Min Aung Hlaing for the compulsory conscription law as adictatorial step and harmful to the future generation. He also  condemnedthe exemption granted to his wife's relatives from the military service and urged young people to oppose such measures.

"If military service is mandatory, everyoneshould participate in it. It's unjust to exempt the relatives of his wife,while imposing pressure on other young people. The enforcement of the militaryservice laws undermine the prospects of the young people. I appeal to youngindividuals to resist the unjustified law for their own freedom," headded.

The concerned committee of  People's MilitaryService Law was established in Thandwe on 6 March.

Since 18 March, the committee has been insisting thevillage administrators to enlist two youths from each village-tract and recruitevery four months, concluded the resident.
