Updated 18 July 2023

Since the February 1, 2021 coup and the emergence of the Spring Revolution, a total of (3,805) people, including pro-democracy activists and civilians have been killed through military crackdowns against the pro-democracy movement.

Since the coup, a total of (23,919) people were arrested and among them, (19,535) are currently under detention, (6,859) of whom are serving sentences. There are a total of (115) post-coup death row prisoners as of July 18, 2023. (122) people have been sentenced in absentia, of whom (43) have been sentenced to death. This makes a total of (158) people who have been sentenced to death. (4,384) 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.

According to data collected by AAPP, from February 2021 to July 18, 2023, (1,690) people in Sagaing Region were killed by the junta. Of the (1,690) victims, (720) of them were killed in detainment. Moreover, (3,142) people were arrested in Sagaing Region, and (2,865) are still in detainment. Among the still detained persons, (773) were given prison sentences under specious charges.

On July 13, at around 6 a.m., over 70 junta personnel raided and set Thone Sint Kan Village in Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region on fire. As a result, a retired teacher identified as Khin Maung Htay was burned to death as he was unable to flee.

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 offenses.

In Solidarity, 

AAPP

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.
