Monthly Overview of the Human Rights Situation

The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) remains alarmed at the increase in attacks perpetrated by the military junta. In the past, HURFOM’s documentation efforts focused on ten townships in Mon State, southern Karen State, and northern Tanintharyi Region, primarily areas bordering Mon State. However, since the military coup, the need for human rights monitoring has increased dramatically as violations have surged across a wider area, such as in such as Kyainnseikyi, Hpa-an, Kawkareik, Myaingkalay, Long Lone, Thayet-Chaung, Yebyu, Palaw, Pala, Boke Pyin, Myeik, Kyun Su, Taninthayi, and Kawthaung.

Throughout the year, the junta’s increased militarization has led to the formation of militia forces, granting them privileges and empowering allied groups to strengthen their control over villages. As a result, there are more threats to personal safety, severe restrictions on livelihoods and travel, and widespread property extortion. Communities have faced ongoing artillery shelling and airstrikes by the junta, often perpetrated when there are no active armed clashes nearby.
