Advocate Released from So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Thayetchaung Township of Tanintharyi Region

     Terrorist groups have been engaging in battles, carrying out attacks using heavy weapons, drones to drop bombs and improvised explosive devices across towns and villages in various states and regions. Moreover, they are committing inhumane acts of terror and criminal activities including abducting and extorting money from local civilians, as well as killings.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 26 July 2025 at 10:30 PM, while U Yan Naing Lin (37 years old), an advocate and resident of T-Tut Pyin Village in Thayetchaung Township, was at his house, two so-called PDF terrorists arrived and abducted him. The terrorists blindfolded and took him by his black-colored HONDA FIT vehicle to a hut in a forest near Thal Chaung Gyi Village. On 29 July at 7:45 PM, the terrorists released U Yan Naing Lin along with his car, claiming that the abduction was a “case of mistaken identity”. As a result, U Yan Naing Lin returned to his house at 8:45 PM, on the same day, it is reported.

     Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend, and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
