Myanmar military courts have sentenced 65 people to death, HRW says

Myanmar military courts have sentenced 65 people to death, HRW says 1 minute read Bangkok Desk, Jul 21 (EFE).- Myanmar’s military courts have sentenced 65 people to death in “unjust trials” since the Feb. 1 coup, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Wednesday. The sentences have been imposed against 26 people in detention and 39 convicted in absentia in areas of Yangon where the military junta has imposed martial law since March to quell the huge opposition movement, it said. Under martial law, up to 23 crimes are punishable by death. The majority are not capital crimes in civilian courts. “The Myanmar junta has added to its mass shootings of protesters on the streets by having military tribunals hand down several dozen death sentences after egregiously unfair trials,” said Shayna Bauchner, HRW’s Asia researcher.
