Since the military overthrew Myanmar’s democratically elected government on Feb. 1, 2021, millions have taken to the streets, demonstrating their profound dissatisfaction with the military coup and uniting in a demand for change. As usual, the military responded with torture, brutality, and mass arrests, dramatically increasing the number of political prisoners. The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) has recorded the detention of over 28,000 people, including President U Win Myint, State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and members of parliament.
