Zaw Min Tun

Zaw Min Tun is a military spokesman for the junta government in Myanmar. He is newsworthy due to his role in communicating the military's perspective on recent events, particularly the controversial general election and the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Myanmar nationals in the US. He has recently been quoted regarding the military's claim of a successful election with over 50% voter turnout, despite widespread condemnation of the election as a 'sham' by rights groups. Furthermore, he has been cited in reports about the junta's positive reaction to the Trump administration's decision to end TPS for Myanmar citizens, a move that could lead to the deportation of approximately 4,000 individuals back to Myanmar. His statements reflect the junta's efforts to legitimize its rule and policies amidst ongoing civil war and international criticism.
