In response, the military had shut down the Internet and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2021\/02\/15\/western-embassies-in-myanmar-warn-military-to-refrain-from-violence-against-protestors\/\">deployed troops to most cities across the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Warning generals, Mr. Andrews said, &#8220;It seems that the generals have waged a war against the people of Myanmar. Getting late-night raids, arresting large numbers of people, shutting down the internet, entering army convoys between communities, all of this The steps are like a war against the people. These are signs of despair. You will be held accountable for this.<\/p>\n<p>According to a NetBlocks report, almost all Internet services in Myanmar were completely shut down from this morning.<\/p>\n<h3>Internet connection in Myanmar<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, internet connection in Myanmar is returning to normal after a full-blown shutdown amid ongoing protests against the military takeover, traffic tracker NetBlocks reported on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the watchdog confirmed that a &#8220;near-total internet shutdown&#8221; was in effect in the country starting 1:00 a.m. local time (18:30 GMT on Saturday) following &#8220;state-ordered information blackout,&#8221; with national connectivity down to 14 percent of normal levels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Internet connectivity is being restored in #Myanmar from 9 am local time; network data show national connectivity rising to ordinary levels after information blackout; social media still restricted for most users; incident duration Rs8 hours,&#8221; the tracker said in an update.<\/p>\n<p>On February 1, the Myanmar military seized power hours before the new parliament was due to hold its inaugural session. The nation\u2019s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was arrested alongside other senior officials after the military accused her party of rigging the November elections.<\/p>\n<p>Protests have since broken out nationwide to demand that the military <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2021\/02\/08\/vigorous-protests-against-military-coup-in-myanmar\/\">restore the civilian government<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Hams Live]<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2021\/02\/un-warns-myanmar-military-against-an-apparent-war-on-civilians\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Andrews, Tom Andrews, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar and the Coordination Committee, has warned the military that they will be held accountable for their crimes.
