Since
Myanmar’s military seized power in a coup just over three months ago, more than
765 people have been killed by state security forces and over 4,700 people have been arrested,
including the country’s democratically elected leaders.
Hundreds have been shot in the
streets, others taken from their homes in nighttime raids, many turning up dead with bruised and broken bodies. More than 50 children have
been killed, the youngest just
six years old shot in
her home. There are also disturbing reports of torture and sexual abuse by
state forces.
The internet has been blocked,
leaving most people without access to information at a time when they need it
