Myanmar's military government has enacted a new law imposing lengthy prison sentences for individuals engaging in speech or organizing deemed to undermine the electoral process. The law broadly prohibits any activity seen as attempting to "destroy a part of the electoral process." Critics argue that this legislation effectively silences dissent and further restricts freedom of expression in the country, hindering any potential for free and fair elections.
