As people are released from the Myanmar junta's prisons, they are providing harrowing accounts of torture and mistreatment. Several women, for example, described mock executions and sexual assault. More pressure is needed to end these atrocities. https://t.co/sdZkkoUmDc

Before and After the Coup,
SAC is destroying not only cities but also people’s lives and their homes. For people who live in hilly regions, their houses are all they have. It took years to build up a place where your family calls ‘home’. It’s heartbreaking.
THANTLANG, Chin State:
More than 100 houses and the largest Baptish Church were set on fire by artillery shelled by SAC Terrorist Group. The artillery fire broke out at 9:50am. SAC continuously shelled until 6:30pm.
