1 February 2022 marked the first anniversary of the Burmese military’s coup against the country’s democratically elected government. Since then, the military has unleashed horrors on a civilian population unwilling to accept its illegitimate rule. Restrictions and crackdowns spread as the population peacefully resisted the regime, leading the people of Myanmar to form self-defence forces known as PDFs.
BHRN launched its report “Brazen Tyranny of Myanmar Military” at a press conference. The event was free and open to all.
