⁨Situation Update: Documenting the Junta’s Arbitrary Arrest and Killing of Civilians February 11, 2025

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) has been providing key stakeholders with information on Burma’s political affairs since 2000. Over the years, AAPP’s documentation has become a trusted source of data on political prisoners involved in significant uprisings such as the 2003 Depayin uprising, the 2007 Saffron Revolution, and the 2015 student movement. UN investigations rely on AAPP as a vital source of information. Since the military coup on February 1, 2021, AAPP has been actively monitoring and documenting arrests and detentions perpetrated by the junta. What’s more, it has expanded its documentation efforts to include the deaths of pro-democracy activists and civilians killed from the military’s brutal violence, starting with the violent crackdowns on peaceful protests.
