Myanmar: Death of Activists in Custody
Six Cases Highlight Alleged Torture, Junta’s Failure to Investigate
Myanmar (Burma)
More than two years since the February 2021 military coup in Myanmar, the junta’s atrocities continue to escalate, driving the country further into a humanitarian and human rights catastrophe. The junta’s widespread and systematic abuses – including extrajudicial killings, torture, and indiscriminate attacks on civilians – amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. The military has extended a “state of emergency” and slated sham “elections” for 2023 in a bid to gain legitimacy. The international response to the crisis has been weak, without adequate coordination and enforcement of real consequences for the junta’s crimes.
