The U.N.’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report detailing the severe impact of military rule in Myanmar since the February 2021 coup. Key points include:
Civilian Impact: Over 5,350 civilians killed and more than 3.3 million displaced.
Economic Hardship: Over half the population now lives below the poverty line due to military violence.
Arrests and Abuse: More than 27,000 people arrested, with many subjected to abusive interrogation and inadequate healthcare.
Religious Attacks: 226 attacks on religious sites, including churches and monasteries.
Ethnic and Religious Tensions: Ethnic minorities, many with distinct religious identities, face increased violence.
Census and Elections: The military plans a national census in October, seen as a step towards elections, though its legitimacy is questioned.
The report highlights the ongoing crisis and the international community’s skepticism about the military’s actions and intentions.
Pray for safety for P. and the Christian leaders in Myanmar.
Pray that it will be a time of encouragement to Christian leaders.
Pray that Christians would be salt and light to the people of Myanmar and that they would see many coming to Jesus.
Pray for peace and safety for Christians and all people in Myanmar.
