According to Assistance Association of Political Prisoners (AAPP), at least 28,096 people have been arrested since the military seized power in February 2021, underpinning the ongoing turmoil.
Myanmar's military government, which took power in February 2021, has been accused of executing a brutal crackdown on dissent, resulting in the deaths of over 4,000 civilians.
