It has been over five years since the military coup. Despite the junta carrying out a sham election, they continue to commit arbitrary killings, bomb innocent civilians, and attack religious buildings, schools, and hospitals, while also targeting political prisoners for oppression. These actions constitute blatant war crimes and crimes against humanity. These violations are being carried out by the junta to instill fear and to consolidate their rule through intimidation in order to maintain their power, and they show no interest in genuine dialogue. It is certain that as long as the junta does not cease these actions, the country will not achieve stability and peace.
