Three Years Since the Attempted Coup, Human Rights Violations Continue to Rise in Southeastern Burma

For Immediate Release

While the Burma Army continues to commit atrocity crimes with impunity, civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict. For decades, ethnic people have endured relentless assaults on their communities as the military waged wars and broke ceasefires in pursuit of power. Decades of authoritarian rule in Burma have caused instability and structural inequalities. When the junta attempted their coup on 1 February 2021, citizens refused to go backwards. Their unbreakable spirit has propelled the Spring Revolution.

Over the past three years, the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) has documented the widespread suffering of innocent civilians and collected evidence of crimes perpetrated by the junta. Human rights violations including sexual-gender-based violence, torture, arbitrary arrest and unlawful detainment, and destruction of properties, are on the rise in Mon State, Karen State and the Tanintharyi region.
