CIVILIANS continue to be in the line of fire under the rule of the military junta forces in Myanmar. According to the human rights organisation Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) over 1,700 civilians have been killed so far in the violent campaign of repression carried out by the junta forces and over 12,970 have been arrested.
A 193-page report released on March 24 titled Nowhere is Safe: The Myanmar Junta’s Crimes Against Humanity Following the Coup d’Etat focuses on the mass human rights violations that occurred in the first six months following the coup d’etat.
The report based on 120 interviews, as well as leaked documents and information, argues that Myanmar’s military led by General Min Aung Hlaing deliberately killed civilians who challenged its authority. It also outlines that General Hlaing created a special command that deployed snipers to kill unarmed protesters.
The report compiled by Fortify Rights and the Yale Law School Schell Centre identifies “61 military and police officials who should be investigated and possibly prosecuted for their roles in crimes against humanity under international law.” It highlights that six of these individuals are allegedly active-duty army personnel and in leadership positions.
