A recently married couple actively involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) were brutally killed on Wednesday in the Tanintharyi region of southern Myanmar, underscoring the grave risks faced by civilians opposing the country's military regime.
The victims have been identified as Mrs Aye Thi Aung, a former public school principal, and her husband. According to local sources, the couple had been engaged in peaceful resistance activities against the junta, which seized power in a military coup in 2021. Mrs Aye Thi Aung was also closely associated with the National Unity Government (NUG) and played a key role in managing its alternative school programme in the region, providing education services outside the control of the military authorities.
Details surrounding the killings remain limited, and no official statement has been issued by the military administration at the time of reporting. However, the incident has sparked renewed concern among pro-democracy groups and human rights advocates, who say it reflects a wider pattern of intimidation and violence against those aligned with the CDM and other opposition movements.
Observers warn that educators, civil servants, and community organisers involved in resistance activities continue to face targeted attacks across Myanmar. The killing of the couple has renewed calls for international attention, accountability, and sustained advocacy for human rights and justice in the conflict-hit country.
