Myanmar junta abducts young men to fill army ranks

Myanmar's military is abducting young men in towns like Hpa-An and forcing them into service as it struggles to meet conscription quotas amid civil war. Leaked documents show authorities ordered aggressive recruitment, with an estimated 100,000 recruits taken in two-and-a-half years, often through coercion and extortion. Rights groups report a sharp rise in disappearances.
