In south-east Myanmar civilian communities face direct military attacks since the armyʼs take-over in early ʼ21 (a pattern that keeps going even today). The Karen Human Rights Groupʼs latest findings show how army units use group-punishment tactics against local people
A fresh study by regional observers brings up clear proof of planned air-strikes on small towns in Myanmarʼs south-eastern part — these attacks are part of wider military actions that hurt regular people. James Rodehaver‚ who leads the UNʼs rights watch-team for Myanmar from Bangkok says: this is not just a local issue; its happening all across the nation
The research points to many air-raids that took place in different spots showing how the army picks civilian targets on purpose. The militaryʼs actions show a clear plan to control people through fear which started right after they grabbed power about 4 years ago‚ and now these attacks have become common-place in many areas
The report lists several key findings:
* Direct hits on civilian homes
* Planned attacks on community areas
* Use of heavy weapons in populated zones
* Destruction of basic life-support systems
