January 13, 2025
Week One January 2025
On January 4, 2025, to mark the country’s Independence Day, the junta announced the release of prisoners from various prisons across the nation. The military claimed to have released more than 600 political prisoners. However, these figures, which the Political Prisoners Network Myanmar has verified, show that only about 340 were freed, which is indicative of the thousands who remain unjustly imprisoned. The amnesty serves as a reminder of the junta’s desperate quest for legitimacy while it continues to perpetrate widespread and systematic human rights violations.
While the junta tries to mislead the international community, reports from human rights organizations are furnishing vital evidence of the regime’s human rights violations. In a report released by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), at least 95 civilians, including over a dozen minors, were killed by the Burma Army in December 2024 alone. Airstrikes were the primary cause of fatalities, as aerial attacks are increasingly endangering civilians.
