The Network for Human Rights Documentation – Burma Releases
‘Solidarity in the Struggle,’ An Overview of the Human Rights Situation in Burma:
January – June 2025

3 September 2025

For Immediate Release

Today, the Network for Human Rights Documentation-Burma releases its first biannual report of the year, ‘Solidarity in the Struggle,’ which documents the human rights situation in States and Regions of ND-Burma members during the first half of the year.

According to documentation by ND-Burma members, from January to June 2025, there were 320 documented cases of human rights violations through 188 events across 12 regions and states in Burma. Of these, 158 were committed by the military junta, five by the security forces (mainly police officers), eight by various militias, seven by Ethnic Revolution Organizations (EROs), one by the People Defence Force (PDF), and nine remain unidentifiable.

The ongoing crimes committed by the military junta have created a worsening atmosphere of fear in Burma, where civilians are worried about their daily survival. The rise in airstrikes, in particular, has increased uncertainty. ND-Burma members all expressed concern for the communities in their targeted areas, which have endured immense suffering. With the situation far from improving, the international community is urgently called upon to respond to the crisis in Burma, including the escalating humanitarian emergency that has displaced over 3 million people.

“Every day, people in Burma are just trying to survive as the junta unleashes airstrikes, indiscriminate artillery attacks, and arbitrary arrests. The suffering is real and continues to grow. As human rights defenders, we persist in documenting these abuses because the voices of survivors must be heard. The world must act now to stand with the people and ensure the junta is held accountable. Justice and accountability are long overdue, and we urge global actors to take urgent action to hold the junta responsible for its crimes,” said Nai Aue Mon, Program Director at the Human Rights Foundation of Monland.

The time to act is now. Global stakeholders must clearly tell the junta they are criminals and therefore must face long-awaited consequences for their many crimes. The people of Burma overwhelmingly reject the terrorist junta, and the international community must support their calls for action by calling for an urgent referral to the International Criminal Court and implementing targeted sanctions on aviation fuel.
