Overview

The internal armed conflict escalated. The frequency of military air strikes increased, as did military attacks on schools, hospitals and civilian infrastructure. The conflict and military repression deprived people of their right to education. Ethnic Rohingya people experienced the worst violence since 2017. Arbitrary arrests continued, with unfair trials and raids targeting activists. Journalists were subjected to harsh prison sentences, creating a chilling effect and further restricting the rights to freedom of expression. Shipments of aviation fuel still reached the country despite sanctions and global campaigns to disrupt the supply chain to prevent air strikes.
