Myanmar’s military junta has announced the failure of its attempt to arrest exiled journalists and opponents through Interpol. The announcement follows efforts to target reporters from *Myanmar Now* and four other independent news organizations. These news outlets were publicly accused in parliament of disseminating “false reports” intended to undermine the regime’s legitimacy. The junta’s actions represent a further escalation in its crackdown on independent media following the 2021 coup. Despite seeking international assistance via Interpol, the junta has been unable to secure the arrests of those operating outside of Myanmar. This failure highlights the challenges the regime faces in suppressing dissent and controlling information flows beyond its borders. The ongoing repression continues to stifle freedom of the press and limit access to information within Myanmar.
