The military junta that overthrew Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her elected government on Feb. 1, 2021 stands accused of crimes against humanity for abuses including mass killings, torture, and sexual violence. Rights groups say military attacks on civilians and torching of villages in border regions that have opposed the military amount to war crimes. The coup has also brought joblessness and hunger to many of the country’s 54 million people.
