UN War Crimes Sleuths Expose Systematic Torture in Myanmar’s Jails

The UN’s war crime investigators group on Tuesday said it has uncovered significant evidence of systematic torture including sexual violence against detainees in detention centers operated by Myanmar’s military regime.

It is also a step closer to naming the perpetrators.

“We have uncovered significant evidence, including eyewitness testimony, showing systematic torture in Myanmar detention facilities,” said Nicholas Koumjian of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM).
