“Nowhere is Safe”: The Myanmar Junta’s Crimes Against Humanity Following the Coup d’État, a new report by Fortify Rights details more than 120 testimonies, leaked documents, and an in-depth legal analysis of new evidence gathered. The report focuses on the first six months in the aftermath of the February 1, 2021 coup.

61 senior military and police officials were identified and named as potentially liable for crimes against humanity. This includes Commander-in-Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Vice Senior General Soe Win, and the Joint Chief of Staff General Mya Tun Oo. These men are also responsible for what Fortify Rights determined to be genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya in Rakhine State in 2016 and 2017, as well as war crimes in Rakhine State in 2019 and probable crimes against humanity and war crimes in Shan and Kachin states.
