Myanmar Situation Update
27 September - 3 October 2021
Summary
The court trying ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her economic adviser Prof. Sean Turnell, and three Union
ministers who have been charged under the Official Secrets Act have been moved to another venue within
the Nay Pyi Taw Council compound with a limited number of lawyers allowed to attend. Phyo Min Thein,
the former NLD Yangon Region Chief Minister for the 2015-2020 term, appeared in court to testify as a
witness for the ruling junta against Aung San Suu Kyi for the charges against her under the anti-corruption
law.
Coup leader Min Aung Hlaing said that the junta is continuing on the path of democracy which the people
desire. The 2008 Constitution cannot be abolished as it was adopted in a public referendum but they
accept that sections that are no longer relevant need to be amended.
The National Unity Government (NUG) said that it was ready to partner with China to advance the bilateral
relationship toward the achievement of a community of shared values in a statement of honor to the
People’s Republic of China for their National Day.
An inspection team including officials of the Union Election Commission, Ministry of Home Affairs,
Ministry of Planning and Finance, and the Union Auditor-General Office scrutinized political parties from
14 to 30 September according to the election laws.
ASEAN special envoy Erywan Yusof is unlikely to meet with ousted pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu
Kyi as it would be difficult to allow meetings with those who are facing trial, a junta spokesman said.
Myanmar’s currency depreciated to a record low this week to the US dollar, rising to a record high of
around 2,500 - 2,700 kyats per dollar in comparison to exchange rate of 1,300-1,400 kyats per USD before
the coup. The value of gold on the domestic market reached a record high of more than 2.25 million kyats
per tical compared to 1.32 million kyats per tical before military take over1.

Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun said in a press conference that Myanmar's ongoing economic
problems were caused by "outside factors" and two waves of COVID-19 infections, but the military takes

Burma News International (BNI) has issued a statement on the oppression against media personnel and
seriously denouncing the actions of the military junta which massively impact the media freedom and
journalists’ safety in Myanmar. Myanmar’s junta has defended its detention of an American journalist
Danny Fenster helding for four months, without offering any details of the crimes it alleges with the
accusation that he did more than just what a journalist does.
Protests continued in different parts of Myanmar despite the crackdown by the junta over the week. The
clashes between the junta forces and the civil resistance fighters or Ethnic Armed Organizations also
emerged in all states and regions except Rakhine Region. The junta announced a unilateral, five-month
cease-fire beginning Oct. 1 and lasting until the end of February 2022 amid the clashes with PDF and ethnic
armed organizations.

the past week. It was reported that at least 32 people were injured and 12 died4. 22 Mytel telecom masts
