A new U.N. report finds the Burmese military has committed systematic human rights violations, many amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, since the February 1, 2021, coup.

Ravina Shamdasani: “The report sets out Myanmar’s military and security forces’ flagrant disregard for human life, bombarding populated areas with airstrikes and heavy weapons and deliberately targeting civilians, some of whom have been shot in the head, burned to death, arbitrarily arrested, tortured or used as human shields.”
