Four years since the military takeover in Myanmar: no justice for brutal atrocities

Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

Geneva, 30 January 2025 – Four years ago, Myanmar’s elected government was overthrown by the military. Since then, according to substantial evidence collected and analysed by the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar, serious international crimes have been committed across the country. 


Protests against the military regime were suppressed with often lethal violence. Thousands of perceived opponents have been unlawfully imprisoned, where many have suffered torture, sexual violence and other abuses. Increasingly frequent and indiscriminate air strikes, artillery and drone attacks have killed civilians, driven survivors from their homes, and destroyed hospitals, schools and places of worship.
