Myanmar: Nine activists receive up to 37 years
Courts in Myanmar have issued prison sentences of up to 37 years against nine activists, including prominent activist Htet Myint Aung, after they participated in protests supporting the boycott of the elections held last December. These sentences come as part of the military government's crackdown on opposition, with charges brought against them under the Election Law and Anti-Terrorism Law, following their organizing of peaceful protests demanding the abolition of the compulsory enlistment law and the release of political prisoners detained since the military's takeover in 2021. The activists are expected to remain defiant and not appeal the rulings, believing that the government's aim is to instill fear and strengthen its grip on power.
