(MENAFN) A local monitoring group said late on Wednesday that more than 739 lives have been claimed thus far as Myanmar’s military keep up using brutal methods to quell anti-coup remonstrations.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) said in its latest update that one more person was killed in Myaung Township in Sagaing Region on Tuesday.
As of April 21, a total of 3,331 people remain under detention, with 76 of them having been sentenced.
Arrest warrants have been issued for 1,059 more people since the Myanmar army – officially known as the Tatmadaw – seized power on Feb. 1, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
