At a national prosecutors' meeting on January 13, prosecutorial authorities decide to deepen efforts to promote the lawful governance of cyberspace. They will collaborate with public security and other agencies to strictly crack down on telecom and online fraud, particularly cross-border telecom fraud. 

Efforts will be made to solidly advance the special campaign against fraud originating from northern Myanmar, strengthen comprehensive enforcement across the entire chain, and promote source-based prevention and governance, according to the meeting. 

The meeting underscored the importance of rigorously punishing cybercrimes in accordance with the law. Prosecutorial organs were called upon to actively engage in the special campaign to foster a clean online environment, focusing on crimes involving the misuse of the Internet to infringe on citizens' personal information and acts of cyber violence.

To tackle prevalent issues in the digital realm, such as breaches of personal information, false advertising, and consumer fraud, prosecutorial organs will enhance efforts in handling public-interest litigation. These measures aim to harness the power of the rule of law to maintain a fair, secure, and upright cyberspace.
