Fresh appeals for action after military TV broadcasts images of six young detainees whose faces appear bloodied and bruised.
A monitoring group in Myanmar has appealed for international action, expressing concern over the torture and murder of anti-coup protesters in the Southeast Asian nation after the military broadcast images of six young detainees bearing severe signs of abuse. In the pictures broadcast on military-owned MRTV on Sunday evening, the faces of four men and two women appeared bloodied and bruised. One of the women had a swollen jaw and what appeared to be a black eye. “This junta uses torture as its policy,” the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPPB) said in a tweet.
