At least 780 killed since Myanmar coup: Rights group


Myanmar military forces have killed four more people, taking the death toll from the protests against the Feb. 1 military coup to 780, according to a local monitoring group.


The military detained 3,826 people, with 84 of them being convicted, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners said in its latest report released late Sunday.


“Since the coup, there has been no rule of law, there is a state of panic because civilians’ lives and private property can be destroyed and looted at any time by armed thugs,” the group said.


It said, “the peace process has been wrecked by the tyrannical junta, ethnic people once again feeling the brunt of the civil war.“


“Although arbitrary shootings continue on a daily basis, the international community has not taken effective action – so the junta lawlessness is getting worse,” the group stressed.
