The Human Rights Foundation of Monland Calls on Ethnic Armed Organisations to Provide Support to Civilians Fleeing Injustices

HURFOM: 22 February 2021: The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) is alarmed at the increasing rate of violence against civilians, including human rights defenders, activists and journalists following the military coup on 1 February 2021. Over the weekend, at least two people were killed in Mandalay in a brutal crackdown. Security forces used lethal ammunition, including live rounds and rubber bullets in their response to peaceful protesters as well as marbles, stones, nuts and screws welded into small harmful spiked objects. As the situation continues to deteriorate and the rights of people on the ground are increasingly at risk, HURFOM calls on ethnic armed organisations (EAOs) to use their authority in their controlled areas to protect dissidents in Burmese cities who have been forced to flee to the borderlands.

HURFOM Condemns the Police Brutality Against Peaceful Protests in Mawlamyine, Mon State

HURFOM: 16 February 2021: The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) condemns the police brutality against peaceful protesters in Mawlamyine, Mon State, on 12 February 2021. Security forces were relentless in their attacks and responsible for the firing of rubber bullets into crowds at close range. This resulted in five victims sustaining serious injuries. Following nationwide resistance, civilians of all ages, genders and backgrounds took to the streets to call for the release of detained activists, civilians and politicians including State Counselor, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and President, U Win Myint, and for the military who illegitimately claimed power in a coup d’état on 1 February 2021 to step down and peacefully transfer power to the democratically elected National League for Democracy party. We strongly condemn the actions of the armed security forces and call for the civic and political rights of protesters to peacefully demonstrate.
