In August 2025, prison authorities in Maubin Prison, Ayeyarwady Region, forced inmates, including political prisoners, to perform excessive labor. Prison staff and the Jailor beat the inmates who said they could not work due to poor health. At least 20 inmates were injured from the beatings, and they were denied both medical treatment and prison visits from their family members.
Similarly, the junta has continued carrying out heavy airstrikes targeting civilians across the country. As a result, more than two dozen civilians were killed in airstrikes on Mogoke Township, Mandalay Region, on August 14 and 17. Two displaced civilians were also killed in a drone attack on Gaw Tu Village, Kyaukpyu Township, Rakhine State, on August 16.
