Last week Myanmar’s military government banned conscription-aged men from leaving the country for work -- as it continues to take losses in fights against multiple armed groups.
The new law came after tens of thousands applied for visas to avoid military conscription.
But thousands more are joining armed groups to oppose the junta.

In the third special report from inside Myanmar, Al Jazeera’s Tony Cheng met some of those who’d rather fight the Junta, than join their ranks.

John Quinley is the Director of Fortify Rights, an NGO focusing on human rights in Myanmar.
