Weekly Analysis: Military Junta Ramps Up Conscription Efforts in Southeastern Burma

Nearly four years have passed since the attempted coup. During that time, the military has exerted widespread force and violence against innocent civilians. In response, many pro-democracy forces have been established to challenge the regime’s unjust quest for power. There have been significant losses in territory and bases that the junta once claimed, in addition to record levels of military defections. In response, they mandated the implementation of the People’s Service Law to conscript young men and women to fight against democracy.

Across targeted areas of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) in Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi region, families are feeling the devastating impacts of losing their sons and daughters to a war that is fought against their own interests.
