Since the February 2021 coup, BHRN has carefully documented over 300 criminal acts committed by the Tatmadaw against the Burmese people, as a part of its brutal crackdown on civilians protesting the military coup. The information collected is based on data collected and verified by BHRN in February, March, and April 2021. BHRN has also documented the growing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar, caused by the Tatmadaw blocking critical humanitarian aid from reaching vulnerable populations and its failure to manage a deadly third wave of the COVID pandemic sweeping through the country.
