According to widely spread information
As reported by Reuters on Friday (12/2/2021) General Min Aung Hlaing conveyed his request for the first time in public. He blamed "immoral people" for the civil disobedience movement carried out by medics, teachers, railway workers and other government employees.

Myanmar military leaders asked civil servants to return to work and urged people to stop mass gatherings to avoid the spread of the Corona virus. This was revealed during the anti-coup protests lasts until the sixth day.

"Those who are away from their duties are asked to immediately return to their duties in the interests of the state and the people without focusing on emotions," he said.

In a statement issued by the military information service, he also urged the public to avoid gatherings, which he said would trigger the spread of the coronavirus.

Protesters gathered across the region on Thursday (11/2). Hundreds of workers lined the streets in the capital Naypyitaw, shouting anti-military slogans and carrying banners in support of Aung San Suu Kyi. Thousands of people also demonstrated in the main city of Yangon.

Hundreds of Myanmar anti-coup protesters also demonstrated at the Chinese Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar on Thursday (11/2). They accuse Beijing of supporting the military junta even though the claim has been dismissed by Beijing.

"This is really a joke! He must be really delusional to ask the protesters to come back and work," said one Twitter user, identified as Nyan Bo Bo, in response to Min Aung Hlaing's statement.

According to the non-governmental organization Assistance for Political Prisoners (AAPP), more than 220 people have been arrested since the Myanmar military carried out a coup against the legal government.

The United States imposed sanctions on 10 military officials and former military officials deemed responsible for the coup, including Min Aung Hlaing. They also included three gem and jade companies that were said to be owned or controlled by the military.

The US Treasury Department said in a statement. "These sanctions specifically target those who play a major role in overthrowing the democratically elected government in Myanmar. They are not aimed at the Burmese people, they prevent the mentioned individuals from doing business in the US. Washington is also taking precautionary steps so that the generals do not accessing Myanmar government funds held in the US.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the United States was "ready to take additional action if the Burmese military did not change its actions".

Min Aung Hlaing and other top generals are already under US sanctions for abuses against Rohingya Muslims and other minorities.

EU lawmakers pass a non-binding resolution urging the restoration of civilian rule. Britain also sees further steps that could be implemented, said UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

"The international community will not accept a coup in Myanmar and we will hold them accountable," he said.

The UN Human Rights Council will discuss Myanmar at a special session on Friday (12/2). The draft resolution proposed by Britain and the European Union has been sponsored by 22 of the 47 forum members.
