Myanmar security forces have raided the Yangon offices of local media outlet Myanmar Now as the State Administration Council widens its efforts to suppress opposition to protests, Britain’s The Guardian reported.

Soldiers and police on Monday evening raided the headquarters of the news outlet that regularly scrutinises the Tatmadaw, or military, seizing computers, part of the newsroom’s data server and other equipment, a representative of the outlet said.

The offices were evacuated as a precautionary measure on 28 January and were empty at the time, they said.
