UN: Myanmar human rights at lowest point
The United Nations report describes the human rights situation in Myanmar as being at its worst ever, with civilian suffering intensifying due to armed conflicts and widespread abuses against the Rohingya minority, including killings, torture, recruitment, forced labor, and arbitrary detention. Additionally, systematic discrimination continues ten years after the Rohingya displacement in 2017. Since 2021, more than 8,075 civilians have been killed, while the number of internally displaced persons has risen to 3.6 million. Some 12.4 million people are suffering from severe hunger, and about 400,000 mothers and children are malnourished. The collapse of the rule of law has also led to an expansion of illegal mining activities in Kachin and Shan regions, with over 300 new mining sites established since 2021, further fueling conflict and aggravating human rights violations.
