Brigadier General Min Min Tun, former 101st Division commander, is captured

Brigadier General Min Min Tun, former 101st Division commander, is captured by TNLA. This the highest ranking person to be captured in the 1027 Operation in Northern Shan State. 

Gen Min Min Tun is a graduate of the 40th intake of DSA. After the military coup in August 2022, he was appointed as the commander of the 101st Division based in Pakokku.

After that, in September, he arrived at the frontline Division Command (101), which was settled in Namhsan, North Shan State.

During his tenure as the commander of ground operations in Nam San, Ta An region, his troops committed countless war crimes. His startling confession of war crimes is a moral blow to the SAC, and a call for all military soldiers to stop serving the murderous generals.

Captured after the Namsan battle, Gen. Min Min Tun, once a military rising star, implores fellow military soldiers to choose peace over violence. A heartfelt plea for unity and reconciliation.

In a recorded video, Gen. Min Min Tun exposes the dark side of Myanmar's military council. Apologizing for innocent lives lost, he calls for a collective abandonment of violence. This confession will definitely resonate with soldiers inside who are low on morale.

Gen Min Min Tun's defection and admission of war crimes shows the lack of military cohesion. This is a call for other soldiers and officers, including generals, to defect and stop blindly obeying the military council.

People’s Goals calls upon all soldiers, officers, and generals to join the revolution. Drop your arms! Choose peace over violence. Choose freedom over dictatorship. Do not die for Min Aung Hlaing!
