Between February 1, 2021, and March 31, 2023, the junta seized at least 751 properties, targeting pro-democracy supporters across the country. These seizures have affected at least 636 property owners—at least 300 of which are Members of Parliament, members of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, and/or supporters of the NLD. AAPP’s documentation shows that the junta’s property seizures usually occur in connection with the junta intending to or actually arresting the property owner because of their support for the pro-democracy movement.
