A female detainee accused of involvement in a series of bombings has been sexually assaulted and tortured by junta forces at an interrogation center in Yangon and denied access to medical treatment for her injuries, according to a 17-year-old former detainee recently released from the same facility.
Two women Ma Khin Nyein Thu, 31 and Ma Hsu Linn Htet, 19 and four men were arrested at a house in Yankin Township on April 17 following a series of deadly blasts that killed at least one soldier and wounded several others in Yangon. They have been held at the junta’s interrogation center in Shwepyithar Township, Yangon since April 18.
