The Ayeyarwady military draft lottery in Myanmar is tainted by irregularities

Authorities in Myanmar's Ayeyarwady region are picking people for military service through lotteries, but locals say it's not fair.

They worry about a new conscription law that might force them into the military. Some are fleeing, and others are upset because not everyone on the draft lists gets a fair chance.

There are even reports of someone taking their life after being chosen in the lottery.
