The Myanmar Military Junta is committing this crime against humanity repeatedly.

This report presents and analyzes the documentation of daily crimes committed by the Myanmar Military Junta with the International Human Rights Standards. Action against the junta is urgently needed for crimes already committed and to protect the lives and safety of the Burmese people.
