Political Prisoners Injured in Pyay Prison

Five political prisoners were injured when they were attacked by inmates serving sentences for non-political crimes, as prison officers looked on, in Pyay Prison, Bago Region on 22 February 2025.

According to a statement by Political Prisoners Network-Myanmar (PPNM) a prison officer working in the cafeteria at Pyay Prison in Pyay Town punched a political prisoner unprovoked and for no reason. This prompted about 100 political prisoners to demand that the prison governor address the incident.
