Civilians Bear the Brunt of Escalating Junta Violence

This past week has once again laid bare the relentless cruelty of the Junta and its allied forces across Mon State, Karen State, and Tanintharyi Region. The pattern is unmistakable: arbitrary arrests, sexual violence, indiscriminate airstrikes, and the systematic use of civilians as human shields are escalating, while families continue to lose homes, livelihoods, and loved ones.

HURFOM field sources confirmed at least 38 people arrested, including those who remain missing and are believed to be held in junta custody in Mawlamyine, Thaton, and Ye. More than 29 people were detained, 17 injured, and 8 killed. Among the most alarming cases was the abduction of 35 civilians from Kayin Lay Seik Village on 28 September, including a 13-year-old child and elderly women, who are feared to be forced to the frontlines as human shields.
