These are the numbers verified by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP). The actual numbers are likely much higher. We will continue to update accordingly.
The junta seized state power after alleging voter fraud in the 2020 elections. Under the pretense that a re-run election would be held later this year, they have been arbitrarily arresting and imprisoning anyone who protested against the sham election. According to the latest information gathered and confirmed by AAPP, (12) people have been arrested under the Protection of Elections Law, including children under the age of 18.
Despite their efforts to present themselves to the international community as holding a fair election, the junta’s targeting of civilians has not stopped and has only intensified in recent weeks. Around (43) civilians have been killed in the junta’s airstrikes–their most common method of attack– over the past week. In addition, on September 26, Hpa Lu Village in Myawaddy Township, Kayin State, and Tat U Monastery in Toungup Township, Rakhine State were attacked by airstrikes and drone bombings. Then, on September 27, Pan Tha Pyay Village in Kyaukme Township, Shan State, was also attacked by airstrikes and drone bombings. These attacks reportedly damaged three monasteries, one school, and around twenty houses.
