Daily Briefing in Relation to the Military Coup 

Updated 29 July 2022   

According to AAPP documentation, at least (678) houses and buildings have been sealed off by Junta between February 2021 and June 2022.  

Since the February 1, 2021 military coup and the emergence of the Spring Revolution, a total of  (2138) people, pro-democracy activists and other civilians have been killed through military crackdown following pro-democracy movements. AAPP compiled and documented (5) fallen heroes today. These (5) fallen heroes, from Pauk Township in Magway Region, were killed on previous days, but documented today.              

Since the coup, up until July 29, 2022, a total of (11820) people are currently under detention and (1364) are serving sentences. 

According to AAPP investigations, (2) children were sentenced the death penalty by martial court but are still facing trial at juvenile court, therefore they have been moved to the ‘facing trial list’. In addition, 1 man and 1 woman were initially sentenced to death, but due to a successful appealment, they have had their charges changed to life imprisonment.

AAPP verified (1) new person sentenced to death today, therefore there are a total of 77 post-coup death row prisoners as of July 29, 2022. (121) people have been sentenced in absentia, of whom (42) have been sentenced to death. This makes a total of (119) who have been sentenced to death. (22) people have been released on bail and (3075) people have already been released.     

These are the numbers verified by AAPP. The actual numbers are likely much higher. We will continue to update accordingly. 

On the early morning of July 27, the junta soldiers were unable to find an activist when they raided a house in Kant Kaw Myaing Ward, Myaungmya Township, Ayeyarwady Region, so they arrested Khin Thet Nwel, Ye Khaung Soe and Mann Gyi as hostages – who were at the house at the time.

Tin Naing Tun and Kyaw Thein Tun, CDM Police Sergeants from No.3 Police Station, Mandalay City; and  Kyaw Thein Tun’s wife, Khin Htway Yi, and a 7-year old, La Yaung Cho, were arrested by the junta forces in Naung Kyan Village, Nawnghkio Township, Shan State, on July 10.

AAPP will continue to inform on verified daily arrests, charges, sentences and fatalities in relation to the attempted coup, and update the lists with details of these alleged offences.
