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.
