CONFIRMED: THREAD;1/You, my friends would remember this condemnation letter of a battalion commander, strategy officers, soldiers and the families of No903 Field Engineer Battalions (Number 2) from Aung Ban, Shan State. #myanmarmilitarycoup #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

2/I deleted that tweet after receiving several claims that it's fake and 903 doesn't exist. Been trying to confirm all day long for that. Talked many people from Aung Ban and friends who have relatives in Aung Ban, and even military personnels. 1st thing is 903 exists.

3/And the letter is real. The signatory 'Captain Kyaw Soe Tun' was arrested/taken by military personnels from Kalaw yesterday after few hours ago I tweeted. He left two kids and wife who is High school teacher. The family needs supports.

4/Full translation of the statement: We are very sorry to hear the announcement, via Myawaddy Media at 8:00 am on February 1st, 2021, that reads Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has seized the power.

5/We are very sorry to hear the announcement, via Myawaddy Media at 8:00 am on February 1st, 2021, that reads Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has seized the power.

6/We, the battalion commander, commander, strategy officers, soldiers and the families of No 903 Field Engineer Battalions (Number 2), condemn such unlawful seizure of power from the government.
