Interviews

“There are many elderly political prisoners, including State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This year has been particularly concerning for elderly political prisoners, as even younger detainees have died due to a lack of medical care in prison, which weakens the immune systems of all prisoners.” Ko Thike Tun Oo (PPNM)

“During this period, accessing justice for women is a big challenge, whether within the country, in revolutionary areas, in places where they are temporarily seeking refuge, or even abroad.” Nan Awan Kham, advisor to Myanmar-Women, Peace and Security (M-WPS)

“…the military council bears responsibility. Secondly, the NUG, which has established labor ministries, also has a responsibility. If they can’t address migrant worker rights even after establishing labor ministries in overseas locations, then one must question what purpose these labor ministries serve.” – U Htoo Chit, Executive Director of Foundation for Education and Development (FED)

“We can say it’s critically important for the Western Command. If we can control this road section, we’ll be very close to the junta’s weapon and equipment factories. Also, we can continue to work on controlling the Pathein-Monywa road section.” – Naung Thurein, Commander of PRA-Magway

“Our goal is to disrupt the flow of international funds linked to most of the junta’s companies and the family of Min Aung Hlaing. Only then will the inflow of resources to the junta cease.” U Maung Maung (CTUM-President)

“Without action, justice for the civilian population will remain out of reach, and the military council will continue to act with impunity. Furthermore, judicial and legal processes must be pursued under international law without delay.” Saw Nanda Hsu, KHRG Spokesperson

“The people are more scared as they carry out drone attacks. The attacks with jet fighters have limitations. Now these attacks can happen at anytime and anywhere. So, the IDPs are very afraid of drone attacks.” A local man from Kyunhla
