🟥3 prisoners recaptured, 4 others are still at large

Three of the prisoners who escaped from Thaton Prison in Mon State have been recaptured, while four others are still at large, a visitor to Thaton Prison told BBM.

On September 15, 2025, around 4 p.m., seven prisoners escaped when the prison van door opened as prisoners were being transported back to the Thaton Prison.

“It is not known who the escapees and recaptured are. Are they political prisoners or other prisoners? We do not know exactly,”

the visitor to the prison continued.

“That day, they caught three of them right away. They were taken to court at 9 a.m. that day. When they were being taken back to the detention center at around 4 p.m., they jumped out of the car as soon as the door opened and ran away. Prison staff and police immediately caught three of them. The other four are still missing,”

a source close to Thaton Prison said. Among those who were taken to court on September 15 were three political prisoners, as well as some people arrested for theft and murder.

After the prisoners escaped, the military junta has tightened security in Thaton and is conducting searches and investigations.

On June 3, a prisoner escaped from Mandalay’s Obo Prison with fetter, and on February 1, seven prisoners grabbed the gun from Ye Police Station and shot police officers and escaped.

During the prisoner escape, Deputy Police Chief, the police sergeant and the police officer died on the spot, while the deputy police chief of the military council’s Ye Myo Ma police station was hit by a bullet in the right chest and required medical treatment.

The Military Junta Election Commission announced that it extended the deadline for Myanmar citizens abroad to vote in advance.

On September 12, 2025, the Military Junta Election Commission announced that it extended the deadline for Myanmar citizens abroad to vote in advance.

“I don’t care anything about it. In the past, I was so eager to vote that I waited for the voter list to see if my name was on the list, and then I jumped. If my name was on the list, I got an online Q number, and I was active. To be honest, I didn’t care about the extension. I think it was for the people who came to vote. Now, I don’t see anyone speaking their mind,”

a Myanmar citizen in Singapore told BBM. “Even though it’s an election in my country, I’m not interested in this fake election by the military dictatorship, I’m not supporting it, I’m not voting in advance,”

said a factory worker in Thailand.

“I’m not interested in the general election either. The main thing is to get Mother Suu released as soon as possible and get well as soon as possible. Here, Burmese people always gather and protest,”

a worker in South Korea said. The military junta has announced that the first round of the election will be held near the end of December, and Burmese embassies have reportedly distributed advance voting forms to Burmese citizens abroad.

On September 9, 2025, the military junta ordered highway terminals to not accept
the delivery of goods from Pathein to other regions, a gatekeeper at the Pathein highway station told BBM.

“If we can’t load the delivery of goods, it’s hard to sell. If we only sell fish paste, dried fish, and rice from our own area, if they think we need to support PDFs, then our people in Ayeyarwady Region will only starve even more,”

a shopkeeper in Pathein told BBM. In late August and early September, military gates were seen unloading, taking, and throwing away the delivery of goods from highway buses.

“If we can’t load the delivery of goods , it’s hard to sell them. Now that jobs are scarce, people are just selling and eating. Now that they’re doing this, it’s hard to sell and export,”

said a family-owned vendor at the Pathein strand market. As the situation has become such that only large traders can export goods from the Ayeyarwady Region, small and medium-sized traders are disappearing, a person who worked on village development projects during the previous NLD government said.

“The poverty index will fall if small and medium-sized enterprises develop. Now he (the military junta) is going in the direction of causing trouble for everyone,”

Ko Naing Kyaw Swar said. The highway terminals that mainly run the Ayeyarwady say that the current order is not only a problem for the transporters but also for the bus companies.
