For Immediate Release
The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) condemns the ongoing ill-treatment of political prisoners, which has resulted in death by the military junta. Over the last week, HURFOM reported on two cases of critically ill detained political prisoners who both died due to a lack of access to adequate and reliable medical treatment. The thousands of activists and rights defenders unlawfully detained across the country are evidence of the erosion of the rule of law and the sabotaging of fundamental rights and freedoms. The junta has failed to prioritize their health and well-being and must be held accountable for their deaths.
