Geneva: United Nations The (UN) human rights chief on Monday condemned the executions of four prisoners, including a former lawmaker from Aung San Suu Kyi’s party and a prominent activist, as “cruel and regressive”.
“I am disappointed that despite appeals from around the world, the military carried out these executions without regard for human rights,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michel. Bachelet said in a statement.
“This brutal and regressive move is an extension of the army’s ongoing repressive campaign against its own people”.
All four were executed for “brutal and inhuman terrorist acts”, led by the Global New Light of myanmar The newspaper said, without specifying when and how the men were killed.
The death penalty saw the use of the death penalty in the country for the first time in decades and raised fears that more death sentences would be executed.
The junta has sentenced dozens of anti-coup activists to death as part of its crackdown on dissent after seizing power last year.
Bachelet strongly condemned the fact that Myanmar carried out the execution despite repeated calls from the United Nations and the wider international community to refrain from doing so.
The hanging, she said, is “a brutal violation of the rights to life, liberty and safety of any person, and guarantees of fair trial”.
He called for the “immediate release” of all political prisoners and urged Myanmar to “restore the de facto moratorium on the use of the death penalty, as a step towards eventual abolition”.
According to the United Nations, 117 people, including two children, have been sentenced to death since the February 2021 coup. Of these, 41 were sentenced in absentia.
A UN statement on Monday said more than 11,500 people are in custody for protesting the coup.
“Most of all, of the more than 2,100 people killed since February 2021, more than 30 percent have died in military custody – most as a result of abuse,” Bachelet said.
