The Political Prisoners Network Myanmar (PPNM) reported on 14 January that more than 10 political prisoners released earlier this month from Shwebo Prison in Sagaing Region have been re-arrested by police under Myanmar’s military junta.
Since October 2024, PPNM has observed a concerning pattern, with re-arrests predominantly targeting individuals freed from Shwebo Prison. Most of those detained again are middle-aged to elderly men, and their families have since lost contact with them. Currently, the detainees are being held at the Shwebo Police Station and Mhan Thar Monastery, a site occupied by junta forces, according to PPNM representative Ko Thaik Tun Oo.
