According to information gathered by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), there have been (11) individuals who was arrested under political pretenses in June 2026. Moreover, (70) pro-democracy activists and civilians have lost their lives this month. Among them, (9) lost their lives under various circumstances following their arrest.

These are the numbers verified by AAPP and only includes information and data that has been identified. The actual numbers on the ground are likely much higher. AAPP has been working separately to collect and verify the information of around (82) people still under identification, who died within the month.

The majority of people in Burma do not trust the military’s claims that it will foster democracy and peace. This is a junta that arbitrarily arrested those who wore roses to celebrate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and officially recognized as State Counsellor by the United Nations, yet remains under arbitrary detention. Even the vendors selling those roses have been arrested. However, for their own interests, major neighbouring countries and certain ASEAN member states have been lobbying at the United Nations to accept the military junta’s promises. They turn a blind eye to the daily airstrikes and killings being perpetrated by the junta against the people of Burma. As they are committing international crimes, the right place for the junta is the International Criminal Court.

Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (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.
