As of January 6, (1443) people are now confirmed killed by this junta coup. AAPP compiled and documented (6) fallen heroes today. These (6) fallen heroes from Shwebo Township, Ye-u Township, Monywa Township and Wetlet Township in Sagaing Region were killed on previous days 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.

(522) people have been sentenced in person, of them 39 have been sentenced to death (incl. 2 children). 1966 are evading arrest warrants. 118 people have been sentenced in absentia, of them 39 sentenced to death in absentia. In total 78  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.

Kyaw Thura, who is one of four who were arrested on the night of January 2 in Kyauk Myaung Town in Sagaing Region’s Shwebo Township, was killed due to torture during interrogation. On the morning of January 3, the armed wing of the Junta informed the family to retrieve his body.    

On January 3, two villagers were killed, when the armed wing of the Junta opened fire from a military helicopter in Nyaun Pin Gyi Taw Village and another nearby village, in Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region. They are named Zaw Myo Naung and San Khaing.

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.
