Updated 17 December 2021

As of December 17, (1346) people are now confirmed killed by this junta coup. AAPP compiled and documented (1) fallen hero today. This (1) fallen hero from Thabeikkyinn Township in Mandalay Region was killed on December 16 and documented today. This is the number verified by AAPP. The actual number of fatalities is likely much higher. We will continue adding as and when.

As of December 17, a total of (8086) people are currently under detention. (397) people have been sentenced in person, of them 36 have been sentenced to death (incl. 2 children). 1964 are evading arrest warrants. 118 people have been sentenced in absentia, of them 39 sentenced to death in absentia. In total 75 sentenced to death, in person and absentia. The exact identities and total figure remains to be verified, but we will continue to confirm the recently released.

On the afternoon of December 16, Thiha Naing, living in Zayat Kwin Village in Thabeikkyinn Township, Mandalay Region, was shot dead on the spot, by the armed wing of the Junta. He had been shopping, and was returning to Kyi Pauk Taw Village by motorbike, when he was shot. Someone who was with him was also injured. They were shot, as they did not stop their motorbike, when the junta wanted to question them. 

On the night of December 14, Zaw Min Tun, who is an elder brother of NLD Party member Maung Maung, was arrested as a hostage. He was arrested, as the junta did not find his elder brother, Maung Maung, at Mamae Seik Village in Kawthmu Township, Yangon Region.

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.

As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burma’s drive for national reconciliation.
