💨 Abstract

A U.N.-backed investigator reported systemic torture in Myanmar's detention centers, including electric shocks, strangulations, and sexual violence, over the past year. Myanmar has been in turmoil since a 2021 military coup. The investigator's team has identified security personnel involved in these atrocities and is working towards legal accountability. Meanwhile, new investigations focus on Rakhine state, where over 700,000 Rohingya fled due to persecution.
