Weekly Analysis: Military Junta Seeks to Illegally Advance Conscription Efforts Through Bribery and Extortion

HURFOM: The 2010 People’s Military Service Law is now being enforced for the first time since it was passed over a decade ago.

The announcement met with immediate backlash and fear as young people felt apprehensive and uncertain. Nearly one year has passed since its implementation, and the impacts continue to be consequential.

In targeted areas of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM), including Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi region, families are devastated as they have been separated from their loved ones who have been recruited to the battlefield while being forced to pay exorbitant rates of bribery and extortion to fund the conscription bid.
