Monthly Overview: Four Years Since the Attempted Coup in Burma Marks an Ongoing Downfall of Rights & Freedoms 

HURFOM January 2024

Four years have now passed since the attempted coup in Burma on 1 February 2021. The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) has worked tirelessly to document the worrying escalation of violations. We have utilized established human rights defenders (HRDs) networks, trusted documentation teams, and well-trained personnel.

The ongoing conflict in southeastern Burma has led to severe human rights abuses, with widespread violence directed at civilians. The last year ended with an increase in forced displacement and a worsening humanitarian crisis, which has led to millions displaced. In HURFOM target areas of Mon State, Karen State and the Tanintharyi region, there were at least 63,000 forced to flee their homes in December 2024. This month, that number increased to 73,500.

There are life-threatening shortages in preventive treatment and care, especially for young children and expectant mothers. Educational prospects for many have been forcibly put on hold. Livelihood opportunities are virtually non-existent, particularly in rural areas. Families have suffered innumerable losses as the struggle to survive is one of endless anxiety about the future.
