Legal proceedings under election laws by Junta
In December 2025, the military council announced a bounty of 20 million MMK (200 Lakhs) for the arrest of three prominent activists— Khant Wai Phyo , Tayzar San , and Nan Lin —in connection with anti-election movements held in Mandalay.
On December 3, 2025, legal charges were filed against ten individuals, including Khant Wai Phyo, at the No. (6) Area Police Station in Chanayethazan Township. The charges were brought under **Section 23(b) of the Electoral Protection Law** following demonstrations near Zegyo Market in Mandalay, where activists called for a boycott of the military-led elections.[4]
