Myanmar Junta's MRTV Apps Promote Propaganda Amid Sanctions

Myanmar's Ministry of Information and the army's Directorate of Psychological Warfare and Public Relations, both sanctioned by the U.S., UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, operate the MRTV apps launched by junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in May 2022 to spread propaganda and label democratic resistance as 'terrorists.' While the apps are still active, their ability to advertise on social media may restrict their reach.
