Myanmar human rights

The arrest of Vicky Bowman and her husband Htein Lin came a day before London imposed a new round of sanctions on military-linked enterprises.

Nearly 18 months after the coup, the world's reaction to Myanmar's anguish continues to be one of statements, inaction, and business as usual.

The rights group said that it had “received credible information” that the Myanmar military has laid landmines in at least 20 villages in Kayah State.

The grisly video may have been purposefully leaked in order to terrorize civilians and deter them from supporting anti-regime resistance forces.

U.N. special rapporteur Tom Andrews has called on the world to respond to the country's crisis with "the same urgency they have responded to the crisis in Ukraine."

According to the advocacy group Fortify Rights, the state's malign use of identity documents mirrors past episodes of genocide.

The junta's plans to execute four political prisoners have prompted a wave of criticism from the U.N. and foreign governments.

The country's military junta is seeking to erase all memory of Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle. It can't be allowed to succeed.

The executions of democracy activist Ko Jimmy and former NLD lawmaker Phyo Zayar Thaw will likely be the first of many to come.

According to Amnesty International, more than 150,000 people have been displaced in Kayah and Kayin states since last year's coup.

The sentence is designed to legitimize the military's seizure of power while keeping the 76-year-old elected leader from returning to an active role in politics.
