Myanmar Junta Arrests Nine Striking Teachers Working for NUG Online School

By THE IRRAWADDY 14 July 2022

At least nine striking teachers working for Kaung for You Education, an online school for students boycotting junta schools, have reportedly been arrested since Wednesday, forcing the school to temporarily close.

The arrests came after rumors spread that the school’s principal, Kaung Thaik Soe, was arrested early Wednesday morning.

A post on Kaung for You’s Facebook page said that “Sayar Kaung [principal Kaung Thaik Soe] was arrested”. However, the post was deleted around an hour later as his detention couldn’t be confirmed. The Irrawaddy was also unable to confirm his arrest.
